Windows 10: timings on the events

for the third event running I have had a massive chunk of time added to my total . one event added 16 hours , one over three hours , so today I played 10 challenges , added up my time and it showed 33 minutes. I know about the glitches of not closing down games properly so followed the correct procedure. This evening I played the remaining games , when I logged on I checked my time and it still showed 33 minutes. I completed the other six games in 21 minutes. my total time showed up as 1 hour 47 minutes. where did this extra time come from , as I checked my time after each game I played , and did not fail or have to replay any game. There must be a serious glitch somewhere. As I said this is the third event running.

Google calendar event times are shown as -1h

Summary:

When I create a new event in the built in WP8 calendar app to a Google calendar the time of the event is being displayed as one hour earlier.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new event in calendar. Choose one of the Google calendars configured (I have two configured in my phone). Set time as 2013/07/17 16:00. Save the event.

Expected behavior:

The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00.

Observed behavior:

The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00 for a few seconds. It then automatically changes to 2013/07/17 15:00.

Other notes:

• I have two Google calendars configured. I can observe the same misbehavior on both.
• I also have a Microsoft (@hotmail.com) calendar configured. This works as expected.
• When I log into my Google calendar using a web browser, the time is shown as expected.
• When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and sync my Google account directly, the time is shown as expected.
• When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and use it simply as an interface to the built in WP calendar the time is off again showing 2013/07/17 15:00.
• The timezone on my WP is set to (UTC) London.
• I started noticing this perhaps a week ago. It was working as expected before.
• Phone model is Nokia Lumia 925
• Phone OS version is 8.0.10327.77

Notes 1-6 suggests to me that the internal calendaring module in WP8 fails to recognize DST (daylight saving time) in timezone (UTC) London or misinterprets relevant information fields on Google calendar objects.

Note 7 suggests to me that this is related to an update to my WP8 phone or a change in Google calendar API.



Any help is much appreciated, this is driving me rather nuts.



Thanks,

Kaarel

Export All Administrative Events to Excel


To analyze events, from the Windows Event Viewer, there is a simple way to export all Administrative Events to Excel, with PowerShell.

Exporting all Administrative Events to Excel is a simple two Step process, as described here:

Step 1 - Create the Administrative Events View .xml file

1. Open Eventviewer (%windir%\system32\eventvwr.msc)
2. Navigate to: Event Viewer (Local) > Custom Views > Administrative Events
3. In the “Actions” pane select “Filter Current Custom View”.
4. Select the the XML tab.
5. Press Ctrl+A to select all the XML code of the Custom View.
6. Open a notepad, paste the selected code and save the file to your Desktop as AdmEvtView.xml

Step 2 - Create the csv file with the events

1. Download the ExportEvtCSV.zip file, which contains the script ExportEvtCSV.ps1 and unzip it, on your Desktop.
   It's not a fancy script, just basic PowerShell commands to create a csv file on the Desktop.
2. In Windows Search, type “ISE” (without the quotes) to open “Windows PowerShell ISE” and Run as administrator
   
3. To allow running the script, change the ExecutionPolicy, for this session. To do that, in the Console pane type:
   Code:
   
   Code:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -force

4. In the Windows PowerShell ISE, open and run the script: ExportEvtCSV.ps1
   The script will create a csv file with a name YYYYMMDD.HHMM.csv on the Desktop
5. When done, open the newly created .csv file, format the columns as needed and optionally save it as .xlsx, if you wish.

That’s it! You now have all the Administrative Events in Excel for filtering and further analysis.

Now to the more technical hard stuff... *Confused

There is a reason for running the script from within PowerShell ISE!

It would be great if everything was also working perfectly, when running the script from an elevated PowerShell too.

We can run it from an elevated PowerShell, which means that you just follow the Step 1, as above but for the Step 2 instead of the ISE you run the script from an elevated PowerShell.

The problem is that it will work only for anybody who has en-US format for the dates. Everyone else, who has another format (i.e. en-GB, fr-FR, el-GR etc.), the dates are not translated properly by Excel (although the script uses the –UseCulture switch) and remain as text in the en-US format.

I'm not sure if this a bug of the "export-csv" cmdlet, but although it runs the way it supposed to from within the ISE, from PowerShell there is a problem with the dates format.
As I haven’t found a way to overcome this obstacle, any suggestion from the PowerShell gurus of the forum (like my good friend Shawn @Brink, for instance), is welcome.
