Windows 10: Time Zone incorrect when on a certain wifi network

My Windows 10 laptop consistently sets itself to Eastern time I am in Mountain time--this ONLY happens when connected to one certain wifi network. Six other devices on that same wifi network do NOT have this problem.

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.

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.
