  1. Can't Stop Timezone Changes: Need Help with Windows 10 Settings


    Hey everyone,My Windows 10 computer keeps switching timezones without my permission every time I start it up. It's really frustrating, especially since I can't seem to change the settings myself - they're all grayed out, except for the "Set the time automatically" button, which isn't grayed out, adding to my confusion. I've been using Command Prompt to fix it temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution.Has anyone else had this problem and found a way to fix it? I'd really appreciate any advice you have!Regards,Kaleb

    :)

  2. Timezone Change

    Hi Iselda,

    For us to properly isolate the issue with changing the timezone, we would like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • What is the exact error message that you are getting?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    As an initial resolution, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • In the search box, type in cmd. You'll see Command Prompt listed.
      Right-click and select Run as Administrator.
    • Type tzutil /l to see the list of all time zones.
    • Once you have found your time zone, copy the description that is on the second line. Example:

      (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)

      Central Standard Time <---- copy
    • Afterwards, type tzutil /s "paste the time zone here". Like this:

      tzutil /s "Central Standard Time" (make sure to include the quotations!); then, Enter.
    • Exit the Command Prompt, and then go to your time settings.

    We look forward to your response.

    Open CMD and run the command tzutil /l and it will provide you with the list of timezones. Just type tzutil /s and then the time zone name like "Eastern Standard Time" and execute it. It will set that timezone.
    Done.
