    Incorrect time zone


    I just did a clean installation of Windows 10 and in the install, I chose for 'Country or region' set to"Netherlands", and 'Regional format' to "Dutch Netherlands".
    This is still the case looking in the settings, but at 'Date & time' my timezone options are only of UTC 'US & Canada which is pretty weird since they asked my region?


    Even tried looking at it with CMD with the command 'tzutil /l' and also these options only cover UTC..


    So if someone got suggestions on how I can change this would be really helpful.

    Also reinstalled my laptop to see if it would have the same problem, yes.

    :)

    Time Zones are incorrect

    Hello Scott:



    Thank you for posting your time zone experience to the forum. When you have the date + time set to automatic, the date and time become tied to information being pulled from your carrier. If the time zone is changing incorrectly this is something you will
    want to contact the mobile operator about.



    Outside of this being an issue with the information sent from local cell towers, you can try a couple things on the phone.

    • Toggle your cellular connection. Go to settings > cellular/mobile > turn it OFF > back out of settings > reenter cellular settings > turn ON.
    • If the issue continues, try performing a soft reset of the phone. The best way to do this is to remove the battery for about 2 minutes and then replace the battery and power the phone on.
    If this is something that is a regular inconvenience, we suggest you turn off the automatic time + date and set the phone to manual. Once you go to settings > date + time > OFF > you will be able to manually set the time, date and time zone.



    Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

  4. Incorrect time zone

    Taipei Time Zone Incorrect

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    I understand the time zone on your Windows 10 computer is set incorrectly. This might be due to synchronization in the Time settings. Click on the time display in the Notification area
    > Change date and time settings > Time Zone. Ensure that both

    Time and time zone sliders are ON.

    If the settings are On and you still face the issue, I suggest you to reset the Time service and check if helps.

    Steps:-

    1. Press Windows key + R and type
    services.msc.

    2. Check for the Windows Time service and select Windows time service.

    3. On the left panel, check if the service is start or not.

    4. If service is not started then start the service, by clicking on the
    Start option.

    5. If the service is started the restart the service by clicking on
    Restart option.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
