  2. What time zone to set if located in UK for email on Windows 10?

    Hi,



    Setting the time zone on the computer from Settings window will reflect on all the installed computer applications.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • How are you accessing emails on the computer (Mail app or using a browser)?
    • When you say “What time zone do I use for email”, which email are you referring to?
    • Have you set the system time zone to UK?


    On setting system time zone to UK, the same will reflect on all installed system applications. Check if the system time zone is set to UK.



    If not set, follow the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.



    • Press Windows logo + I keys on the keyboard to open system
      Settings window
    • Select Time & Language and click on
      Date & time from the left side panel of the window.
    • From the right side panel, select your time zone from the drop down bar under
      Time zone.
    • Close the window and check if the system and mail settings are set to UK time zone.


    Write to us with the answers to the above questions and the status of changing the mail time zone in the computer on the same post for further assistance.
    Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    Unable to change the time zone in Windows 10

    I'm running Windows 10 Pro. My time zone is Jerusalem, but I need to change it to Eastern to test a program I'm working on.

    The time zone won't change. I have tried:

    • From the clock/calendar, when I change it - it changes back.
    • From Control Panel - Date and Time, "Change time zone..." - when I click save I get the message "Error occurred - your changes could not be saved."
    • As the Built-in Administrator from the command line using tzutil - I get the message "Insufficient privileges to set the current time zone."

    The registry key TimeZoneInformation has Full Control for Administrators

    Administrators are listed in the Local Security Setting "Change the Time Zone"

    Any suggestions?

    Time Zones do not change

    Hi Andre,

    Thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it.

    I opened the account on my computer which has Administrator Privileges and ran regedit.

    In the first string you suggested, it was already set to NTP.

    In the second string, I changed the value to 3, as instructed.

    Regrettably, after the restart - the trouble is still present. The Time Zone is still stuck on the time zone of the place I started my trip from.

    I opened Settings>Time and confirmed that the toggle is set to Automatically Detect/Change the Time Zone, but it clearly isn't working. Additionally, the place where it displays the Time Zone (which if you click on usually drops down a list where you can
    select a new TZ) is grayed out and not longer drops down a list if you click upon it.

    Also grayed out is the toggle allowing you to choose to ignore Daylight Savings.

    Hmmm. Puzzling.
