Windows 10: Time Zone switches back no matter how many times I change it.

Greetings! I'm having a bit of trouble setting the time zone for my computer. I've had it for almost a year now and it has never bothered me before, but it's starting to get a little tiring having to convert the time my computer's clock is showing into the actual correct time. The image above shows the settings I select, but whenever I close Settings and open it back up, it always reverts back to UTC-06:00 Central Time US & Canada. It's really starting to bug me - I can't seem to permanently change it to where I want it to be. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Time Zone Change

My time zone constantly changes to (UTC) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome,... time zone. No matter how many times I turn off "set time zone automatically" and back on to reset it, or manually select my correct time zone, it keeps reverting back to the UTC time
zone. Is this an issue with the Windows 10 OS, or should I be concerned...

 

Time Zones

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem, it would be helpful if you could reply to these questions to assist you further.

• What is the make and model of your computer?
• Since when are you facing this issue?

Time Zone will not change automatically while you travel. If you want to change the Time Zone for your computer, you will have to change manually.

Only the live tiles like Weather, News, and Sports have the ability to change with the location.

• Go to control panel.
• Click on "Clock, Language, and Region
• Under "Date and Time", click on "Change the Time Zone"
• Under "Time Zone" click on "Change time zone
• Under "Time Zone, click the current time zone, and select your actual time zone
  • Click OK and you are done.

Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

Thank you.

 

Time Zones do not change

Hi Andre,

Thanks for taking the time to help. I appreciate it.

I opened the account on my computer which has Administrator Privileges and ran regedit.

In the first string you suggested, it was already set to NTP.

In the second string, I changed the value to 3, as instructed.

Regrettably, after the restart - the trouble is still present. The Time Zone is still stuck on the time zone of the place I started my trip from.

I opened Settings>Time and confirmed that the toggle is set to Automatically Detect/Change the Time Zone, but it clearly isn't working. Additionally, the place where it displays the Time Zone (which if you click on usually drops down a list where you can
select a new TZ) is grayed out and not longer drops down a list if you click upon it.

Also grayed out is the toggle allowing you to choose to ignore Daylight Savings.

Hmmm. Puzzling.
