Windows 10: Time Zone

Confusing Problem--


I am the administrator of my laptop. When I go to change the time zone in "Additional Date, Time, and Regional Settings" and then "Change the Time Zone" and click on "Change Time Zone" I get an error that says "Unable to Continue. You do not have Permission to Perform this Task. Please Contact your computer Administrator for help"


This is really bothering me. I just got back from traveling (my computer auto-set itself to EST during my travels, and I live in Phoenix, Arizona.) I need a response urgently with as much detail as possible. Thanks.

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?

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

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?
