Windows 10: 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,


Amarabay

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.

Try changing the Timezone to a different zone then go back to your timezone to see if it works.

Can't change timezone

I can't change the timezone from Sydney time to Brisbane time which is annoying as Sydney has daylight savings and Brisbane doesn't. Whenever I try change it I get a message saying contact your administrator, which is me. I have tried using the Admin Command
Prompt command w32tm /register but it still won't work.
