Windows 10: PC Stuck on Pacific Time

My Windows 10 PC is stuck on Pacific Time UTC -08:00, however, I am in Southeast Asia UTC +07:00. When "Set Timezone Automatically" is turned on it goes to Pacific Time. When I try to change my timezone manually in the settings menu, it will say I am on Southeast Asia Time, but the clock on the PC won't update, and when I close then reopen the settings menu it goes back to Pacific Time.

I also tried changing the time itself manually, and this somewhat works. It changes the time shown on the clock to what I want, but the time shown in programs such as Discord or my Web Browser is still Pacific Time.

I have also tried using Command Prompt, more specifically "sfc /scannow" and "tzutil /s SE Asia Standard Time" but neither has worked. When I use scannow one of two things happens, either the scan goes through and nothing changes. Or the scan doesn't progress, and still nothing changes. When I use tzuitl, I am met with the message "TZUTIL: Invalid number of arguments for /s."

I have also noticed other minor issues, such as being unable to change the colour of the taskbar and start menu, as when I try to do so the option is grayed out.

Is there another way to change my timezone, or just repair my files?

Time zone resets to Pacific automatically

I am unable to change my time zone via the Windows Settings tool. Every time I select the dropdown window for changing the time zone, it opens and allows me to select my new time zone, but does not update or change anything. I am able to manually modify
my time but not my time zone. When I close and reopen the settings window for Date and Time, it has reverted to Pacific Time. Attempts to get my time from PowerShell have shown that it is stuck in Pacific time zone and does not change when I select a new time
zone. Enabling Windows Time has not helped either. A scan of my device has shown that it was not in any way corrupted.

I am running the most updated version of Windows 10 Home and my location settings are disabled. Enabling my location has not resolved the problem.
