Windows 10: auto adjust for daylight savings does nothing?

so i just realized my computer clock has been off for an hour all day. I check my settings and confirm that auto adjust for daylight savings is set to on but it clearly ddint auto adjust. upon manually syncing it it then acquires the correct time. Like first when i booted my pc this morning it should have autosynced upon connecting to the network anyways but for some reason it said it last syncd yesterday. Secondly when auto adjust for dst is on it should set a reminder to force the computer to sync immediately after dst occurs. Like it's so simple idk why they even have this toggle switch if whatever it does is so halfassed it cant even manage to change the clock by an hour twice per year. Idk how this autoadjust feature currently works but in its most simple form it doesnt even need to connect to the internet, all it really needs is to move the time an hour twice per year. idk how microsoft cant make that work with like a couple lines of code as soon as the clock is started.

No daylight-saving time auto-adjust?

Location is definitely correct - it is a bit weird isn't it, not doing something as straightforward as adjusting for daylight-saving? I might drop 3 a line, but from previous experience I won't be holding my breath for a helpful reply.



Nevertheless, many thanks for the suggestions - at least I know where the problem lies!

 

Windows 10: Daylight Saving Time Adjustment not working

I had the same issue and tmillernl's fix worked for me. Woke up this morning to the time being an hour ahead (PC was left on overnight, but went to sleep). This is on Windows 10. I did things in the order suggested and it worked:

1) Turn off set time zone auto

2) Turn off adjust for daylight savings

3) Turn off set time auto

4) Turn on adjust for daylight savings

5) Turn on set time auto

Other combinations of the above settings that I tried before finding this post did not work.

 

Windows 10 Daylight Savings Time Not Working

I've tried doing this (Windows 10: Daylight Saving Time Adjustment not working)
several times on three different machines (they're all having the same problem), but it doesn't work.

Here's what I do:

- Go into Date & Time - see both "auto adjust" and "set daylight savings" is off

- EITHER set daylight savings time to adjust, or auto adjust, and see that it is set

- If I do auto adjust time, it resets "set daylight savings time" to be off

- If I leave auto adjust off, but daylight savings to on, then click away, and click back, daylight savings is still off

My machine is fully updated, Windows 10, and I'm in PDT.

Suggestions?
