    It seems to solve itself occasionally, but revert every once in a while. I currently can't recreate the issue again, but yes I had attempted to mess with those options. The set time automatically option I had to disable in order to force the time to the correct time. However no matter what options were selected the set time zone automatically was locked in the on position and greyed out not allowing it to be modified.

    Time zone locked, and options to change are permanently greyed out.

    Hi, Patrick,

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

    Did you try to turn off the option "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically"? If you disable these options and are still not able to change the time zone, please attach a screenshot of the Date & Time settings.

    1-Click on Start then click on Settings

    2-Click on Time & Language

    3-Date & time

    And a screenshot of the System Information page to help to identify what is causing the problem.

    1-Right-click on Start then click on Run

    2-Type: msinfo32 and click on OK
