    why doesn't windows 10 detect time zone when you travel?


    There may be an easy answer - if so, grateful if you could please share - but it doesn't seem so. I've tried the obvious things repeatedly. This is insane as all map apps (apple, google) reliably know where one's device is. What's so hard for windows? Incredibly irritating when you travel a lot!

  2. 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?
    • Since when are you facing this issue?

    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
      • Click OK and you are done.

    Hope this helps in resolving the issue. If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Wrong time zone detected


    When I go up to my cabin, Windows always changes my time zone to Pacific. I'm in Mountain Time, and I actually go east to get to the cabin. I don't know if it's the IP address, or the WiFi network, or what, but it happens every time. If I go into Time settings and disable automatically detect timezone, I can set it back to mountain time. But if I re-enable auto-detect, it switches right back to Pacific.

    Is there any way I can teach Windows the correct time zone so that it auto-detects correctly?

    Traveling to different time zones and appointment time changes - aarrrgggghhhhh

    When making an appointment for a different time zone in Outlook please select from the tool bar above the right time zone. This way when you are in the new time zone while travelling those appointment will be ok.

    Unfortunatly the appointment now will look strange since it is adjusted back to the time zone you are currently in. But the time will be right ones you are in the timezone of the appointment
