  1. Why can't I set the correct time zone on my clock?


    Having just restored my laptop, I noticed that the time was wrong. What is strange is that Everything is correct in the region and regional formats United Kingdom, but time zone is set to UTC US and Canada. Further, the drop down menu only gives me UTC options.


    Am I missing something here? how do I change it so the clock is set to United Kingdom?


    I've attached some screen shots for your reference.


    Thanks in advance for your support.


    Regards

    Luke

  2. Windows 10 Time Zone tool?

    Tested this once again and did exactly what the steps from above. After booting into Windows it did change to UTC from the list of time zones from the date and time properties.

    The actual time however was still Pacific Time. But when I connected to the internet now the clock shows UTC.

    I did a command SYSTEMINFO and under Original Install Date it still has the Pacific Time.

    So yes, I can confirm that to show the exact correct time you need to connect to the internet or else it will not work. The only changes that do work when not connected is that the correct Time Zone setting (UTC) appeared on the date/time properties after doing the TZUTIL command during install. But the actual time was still reflected on Pacific Time.

  3. Set Time Zone Automatically

    Your suggestion, while good, did not correct my problem. What it did do was lead me to the answer, thank you.

    Seems that the default location set for my computer was blank. When time zone was set to automatic, Windows didn't know where I was and probably reverted to the last entry in the zone list, Moscow. I re-entered my proper location, set the zone to Auto and
    everything was good to go.

    Why can't I set the correct time zone on my clock?

    Clock displays wrong time

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the settings of time and time zone:

    • Press “Windows+X” and click on “control panel”.
    • On the left hand side click on “clock, language and region”.
    • Click on “change time zone”.
    • And then click on the tab “internet time” and click on “change settings”.
    • Check the box “synchronize with an internet time server” and also select the option “time.windows.com” from the drop down and click on “ok” and check if the issue persists.
