Windows 10: Set time zone automatically Windows 10 does nothing.

Hi, I am setting up new Lenovo laptops for employees.


Computers are in "Workgroup" no AD.


The defaults zone is always set to Pacific time.


I'm eastern time. No VPN. No AV, No FW.


The "Set time zone automatically" in Windows 10 does absolutely nothing.

I can even change manually to any zone and when I put it back to auto, it stays where I set it.


Why can't it detect the zone?

Set Time Zone Automatically

Your suggestion, while good, did not correct my problem. What it did do was lead me to the answer, thank you.

Seems that the default location set for my computer was blank. When time zone was set to automatic, Windows didn't know where I was and probably reverted to the last entry in the zone list, Moscow. I re-entered my proper location, set the zone to Auto and
everything was good to go.

 

Fluctuating Time Zone Setting

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

I would suggest you to check if the values for “set time automatically” and “set time zone automatically” under Date and Time settings are “ON”. If not, then suggest you to make the vale to “ON” and check for the status.

If the issue still persists, follow the steps provided below:

• Press Windows key + R, type services.msc and press Enter.
• Locate Windows Time from the list and double click on the service.
• In Genereal tab, set the Startup type to Automatic.
• Click on Apply and OK.

Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.

 

Set Time Zone Automatically

I've noticed something that I can't seem to correct. When I set my Windows 10 time zone to
automatic, it shows Moscow UTS +3, I live in the Eastern Time zone UTC -5. I can manually change it, but, whenever I select Auto, back to Moscow I go. My Internet time is set for time.nist.gov.
I have searched for any location setting and can find nothing out of the ordinary.

Is this common or something I might have done? Any suggestions on how to correct it?
