  1. UTC files


    I din't always have my back up external hard drive plugged into my laptop. So what seems to be happening is File History UTC files are being saved to my C drive documents folder. As a result any given file can have three or so UTC duplicate backups all with different dates. My C drive is now clogged with these documents and maunually removing them is very time consuming. How do I get rid of them and how do I limit back ups so that old back ups are deleted?

    :)

    Cortana UTC Time Is Incorrect


    If you right click on the time at the right end of the taskbar you will have an opportunity to adjust the date and time. However, I checked that and something is screwy about the zone settings list. I live in Florida, USA -- Eastern Time Zone but the settings say (UTC-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada). It seems something is amiss in the program. I'm going to post a query about that. Meanwhile, if your time display looks OK I suggest you leave it alone. Windows 10 is full of holes and I believe that MS will fix them eventually. I also believe in world peace and the Tooth Fairy.

    UTC Incorrect

    Does anyone know how to fix the UTC time on Windows 10? I have it set to show two times as I work globally with other developers so we operate under UTC and then I have it show local time. The local time is correct but UTC is one hour off. I suspect it
    is the DST that is throwing it off. I work with other operating systems and it seems Windows is the only one that UTC is Off. So if anyone knows how to fix this it would be great.
