  1. Why does IPv6 interfere with Automatic Time Zone update


    We have run in to issues with the Automatic TimeZone update for our users that travel. Either the time zone does not update at all or it gets stuck in an incorrect time zone. Manual setting will allow you to change, but as soon as you turn the automatic setting back on, it goes back to the wrong time zone. We have tried several posted fixes and found that the only way we can resolve is by disabling IPv6. Can someone advise how IPv6 interfaces with time zone settings or has anyone else seen this?

    :)

  2. 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.

  3. Fluctuating Time Zone Setting

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

    I would suggest you to check if the values for “set time automatically” and “set time zone automatically” under Date and Time settings are “ON”. If not, then suggest you to make the vale to “ON” and check for the status.

    If the issue still persists, follow the steps provided below:

    • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc and press Enter.
    • Locate Windows Time from the list and double click on the service.
    • In Genereal tab, set the Startup type to Automatic.
    • Click on Apply and OK.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
