    Windows defaults to wrong time zone - manual time zone admin locked


    Windows defaults to Mountain Time I'm in Eastern Canada. This happened out of nowhere. Windows is syncing to Time.windows.com but I cannot resync nor can I manually set my time zone because they are administrator locked at my work. Does anyone know why this is happening? And in general why Microsoft is just so bad?

    :)

    "Set time zone automatically" sets to the wrong time zone, and swaps throughout the day

    I did these steps and upon turning on "set time zone automatically" it still sets the wrong time zone.

    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.
