Windows 10: Windows 10 defaulting to Pacific Time and all apps/games syncing with it

Hey all,

I just recently reinstalled windows 10, and the usual problem has popped up that every time I open the date and time settings, it defaults to the Pacific Time Zone. I am in the Eastern Time Zone. Now this was not a problem on my last install, as when I set the time zone to Eastern, only Discord's time was still synced with pacific. Now on this install, everything is set back to Pacific. Rocket League is 3 hours behind, Discord is 3 hours behind, and I cannot permanently change the time zone to Eastern. I've looked through and tried all the suggested "fixes", and nothing has worked. If anyone knows how to actually fix this, please let me know.

Thanks!

:)

 

Windows 10 forgets default apps

I have noticed like not 5mins ago that Winamp just got kicked out of my default apps list in Windows 10 Pro.
I installed this installation not max 3 weeks ago with fresh downloaded Windows 10 Pro using Microsoft Media Creation Tool, is there a way to fix this bcs I using sfc /scannow don't do a lot for me and I have run it before on this installation.

Before u ask, I have fully updated my Windows 10 with all non-insider/beta updates.

The only thing I have disabled is the uac prompt that popup when u need admin for applications to run bcs it's simply annoying.

I don't remember having all these problems with Windows 8.1 Pro when i was using that and I am really thinking about going back so I can have "fully control" over Windows again with like disabling all the admin crap bcs I feel like it's messing more up and makes things less useful in Windows 10 with all these small problems I have and I read a lot of ppl having problems with various things time and time again where they needed to reinstall Win10 over and over to get it to work fully.

Any advice on how I can get Windows 10 to just work as a "daily driver" without all these small annoying things? *Frown

 

MCT clean install defaults to Pacific time zone w/o option?

The timezone will be set to whatever is appropriate for the Region you choose during setup.






That's Step 17 in the tutorial.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
