Windows 10: Time zone locked, and options to change are permanently greyed out.

My computer just locked my timezone to Arizona, and absolutely will not allow me to change it. It's causing havoc on alot of my apps that rely on my clock to function, and manually changing the time only seems to change the clock in the corner not the time that all my apps depend on. I have tried scanning the computer for corrupted files as per a separate post I managed to dig up, but it found nothing to fix. With the clean boot I couldn't figure out what was doing it because it was still grayed out and set to Arizona as soon as it booted.

Time zone won't change

Hello,

I live in Eastern Time zone, and I am trying to change my PC's time zone to this time zone. However, every time I restart of wake the PC from sleep, my time zone reverts back to IST time zone. How do I change it permanently?

 

Changing Time Zones in Windows 10

I cannot change my time zone in Windows 10. The time zone option in Settings is greyed out.

I have tried all three fix options provided in other threads but no joy.

With COVID and the new normal of Teleworkiing, people are now Time Zone Dynamic. My computer sits in Central Time Zone but my work location is Pacific Time Zone. I mentally am in PST while logged into work and switch to CST when I log out.

The problem is with the computer permanently set to CST, all of my Outlook Calendar schedules are in CST. This creates great confusion when I create a meeting at 9 am PST but it shows on my VDI calendar as 11 am.

I must have everything in my virtual workspace following the time zone where that workspace is located.

Microsoft should make adjustments to Windows to be more user friendly for teleworking. "User-friendly" seems to have eluded MS since the early 80s!

 

Unable to change the time zone in Windows 10

I'm running Windows 10 Pro. My time zone is Jerusalem, but I need to change it to Eastern to test a program I'm working on.

The time zone won't change. I have tried:

• From the clock/calendar, when I change it - it changes back.
  
• From Control Panel - Date and Time, "Change time zone..." - when I click save I get the message "Error occurred - your changes could not be saved."
  
• As the Built-in Administrator from the command line using tzutil - I get the message "Insufficient privileges to set the current time zone."
  

The registry key TimeZoneInformation has Full Control for Administrators

Administrators are listed in the Local Security Setting "Change the Time Zone"

Any suggestions?
