Windows 10: Why does my Time Zone keep switching back?

I used to be Central Time, now I am Mountain Time. I changed everything in my PC under Locations and everywhere I could think of, but today when the Time Sprung ahead my PC automically went back to Central Time and so to solve this, I changed my Time manually, then click Mountain Time. Then I turned off "Set Time Zone Automatically". And left "Set Time Auntomatically" and Daylight Savings Automatically. Hopefully that works. If it does not I guess I will need to Manually set it all every time Daylight Savings Time comes around until Microsoft fixes that issue.

Time Zones

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

We would be glad to help you with the issue you are facing today. I understand the difficulty with the problem, it would be helpful if you could reply to these questions to assist you further.

• What is the make and model of your computer?

Time Zone will not change automatically while you travel. If you want to change the Time Zone for your computer, you will have to change manually.

Only the live tiles like Weather, News, and Sports have the ability to change with the location.

• Go to control panel.
• Click on "Clock, Language, and Region
• Under "Date and Time", click on "Change the Time Zone"
• Under "Time Zone" click on "Change time zone
• Under "Time Zone, click the current time zone, and select your actual time zone

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.
