Windows 10: My time and timezone settings revert to their old ones immediately after manually changing...

Hello!
I am having a quite annoying problem to say the least, every time I try to change the time on my PC (with Windows 10) the aforementioned changes get reverted almost instantly, same with the timezone, and my timezone isn't even located in the country I have specified the PC's location to be! I've tried changing it through Windows Time, but it was deactivated, so I tried to start it, and I ended up with this:


C:\WINDOWS\system32>net start w32time
System error 5 has occurred.


Access is denied.


So I mean, clearly it didn't work, and I tried this in both the Admin version of CMD and the standard one.
If anyone has any idea how to go forward I'd be glad to hear from them.


Cheers,

Cosmo Billing

Timezone changes immediately after clicking off of the setting page.

When I go into settings and change timezone from Pacific to Eastern, it immediately reverts itself back to Pacific when I click out of the "Date & Time" settings page. So even though I can change my time to show as the correct time, my computer still treats
it as if I have it on Pacific.

 

Date is not updated immediately after changed timezone

Thank you for your quick response.

I tried to do softreset. but timezone and datetime remains previous settings.

In Mobile, time will be changed immediately after change timezone. But date will not be changed until click "<-" button.

But in Desktop, date and time will be updated immediately after change timezone without click "<-" or change page.

I concern this difference of behavior between mobile and desktop.

In conclusion, setting update should be updated immediately without any additional operation for modern os.

thank you for your cooperation.

 

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.
