    Date & Time - Automatic Updates = FAIL & Unable to Manually Set

    Date & Time - Automatic Updates = FAIL & Unable to Manually Set

    Since the major update applied March 3rd to my Windows 10 work laptop:

    • Location sensing is not working - the laptop is unable to accurately determine where I am in the USA (timezone)
    • Unable to manually edit time (greyed out)
    • Automatic Time = forward one hour despite correct location coding & auto daylight savings time enabled

    Basically - cannot manually update and auto updating blows.

    Unable to change the date and time manually in Date and Time settings

    date and time setting

    I am always having to manually change the time on my computer, the date seems to stay but the time is right for a short time and then it changes on its own. I have set the setting for manually and auto, and each setting I am having the same issue. I
    also noticed Eastern Standard Time is not listed so I have had to play with what is listed to get the time to show correctly. Any ideas ??
