  1. Time zone is correct, but Time is wrong


    The automatic time zone in Vilnius, Lithuania is UTC +3 hrs. This is accurate during daylight savings time. However, the time displayed on the clock is wrong. Interestingly, Windows is not the only source that gets this wrong.


    The website Time Difference lists the time as 4:00 while the website Time and Date shows 11:00. Windows is displaying the same time as the Time Difference website, and so is presumably getting their info from the same source. I took a screen shot to show the two sites side by side, and the Windows clock as well.

    Microsoft, you may want to look into where the time and date info is coming from.

    Windows 10 gives the wrong time but is set to the correct time zone


    Hello,

    Yesterday I installed Windows 10 Professional on my Acer Aspire V5-573G laptop. I installed the English (US) version even though I live in the Netherlands. When I corrected the time I have set it to the correct timezone (see screenshot) but it has the wrong time connected to it. As seen on the screenshot the time displayed is 21:49 even though when I took it, it was actually 13:49. Off course I could manually change the time, but I was wondering if maybe this is part of some bigger problem and if there is a better way to fix it. Hope someone can help me *Smile!

    Correct Time Zone and Daylight Savings is on but time displayed is wrong

    My wife's computer is set to the same time zone and daylight savings time as my computer. Her computer displays the correct time and mine is off by one hour. We both have windows 10. Why is my computer not displaying the correct time? And how can this
    be corrected?

    Time zone is correct, but Time is wrong

    time wrong, while time zone is correct.


    It is a factor of two evils. This is where the other file is that affects clock settings.

    2.4 How Linux keeps Track of Time Zones

    You probably set your time zone correctly when you installed Linux. But if you have to change it for some reason, or if the local laws regarding DST have changed (as they do frequently in some countries), then you'll need to know how to change it. If your system time is off by some exact number of hours, you may have a time zone problem (or a DST problem).


    Time zone and DST information is stored in /usr/share/zoneinfo (or /usr/lib/zoneinfo on older systems). The local time zone is determined by a symbolic link from /etc/localtime to one of these files. The way to change your timezone is to change the link. If your local DST dates have changed, you'll have to edit the file.

    The Archwiki has saved my rear a few times when working with Linux. I always use Webmin on those machines that are servers. I used to swap between Linux Mint and Windows 10 when 10 first came out. I would keep a up to date cloned image on my NAS, so that I could use Clonezilla to swap the install on my Laptop that I had at that time. I do not even bother with dual boot on my Macbook Air, since my wife has Windows 10 on her laptop.
