    Time zone not automatically setting


    I travel back and forth between Eastern and Central Times over the weekend and want my computer to correctly reflect my time zone automatically. Although, I have configured the time and time zone to set automatically in Windows Settings, the time zone remains unchanged when I start my computer or manually synch the time. I have also tried setting the Time Server in Internet Time and turned on Allow access to location on this device. Any ideas what I can do beyond these settings?FYI, I am running Windows 10 Home Version 20H2OS Build 19042.1165

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. 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?
