  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.

    I can't change the timezone on my daughters computer

    I changed the reg and now as admin I cannot change the time /timezone anymore

    Hello, everyone

    this is a pathethic help request. I bought my daughter a laptop 2 Christmas ago and used the parental control on it. As she was older (15), she started to change the local time to prevent the computer to close down at night. My response was to go to the
    internet, google how to prevent Admins to change time settings, implement the search result (in the reg, although I usually don't touch it ) and promptly forget what I did.

    Now she is travelling a lot, between 3 timezones and it turns out that neither the time nor the timezone is changing at all. I cannot change it manually, even as admin , and I cannot remember what I did to the reg to change it back.

    Do you happen to know the standard registry entries regarding time changing and admins that I might have changed?

    Do you have any suggestion at all?

    She's going back next Saturday, so any help soon would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
