    UTC offset incorrect in Windows OS


    Windows uses local time for some unknown historical reason. If you want you can set it to UTC (especially useful if you dualboot with Linux and/or macOS).

    Today is April 24th 2018 and the UK is in British summertime which is UTC + 1 hour. Windows shows my offset as UTC + 0. I am in London (England) and my windows clock is showing the correct time but I have an application which needs to calculate UTC and it does this by taking the clock time and adjusting it by the UTC offset and it is currently getting the wrong answer. Ubuntu knows what the UTC offset is , as does Apple - why not Microsoft? I would appreciate comments. Thanks folks.

    :)

    UTC Incorrect

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay.

    I suggest you to provide the screenshot of the issue so that we can get better clarity on this issue.

    You can also add clocks for different time zone and check.

    Thank You

    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.

    I'm not all too familiar with these settings, but is your BIOS set to the properly time? That can often cause time issues within the OS.
