Windows 10: Laptop showing wrong time zone

My laptop is showing the wrong time zone. The time zone here is Eastern Time US & Canada, but my laptop shows Central Time US & Canada. I changed the time zone to Eastern Time US & Canada, but when I turn on Set time zone automatically, it reverts back to the default setting. I restarted my laptop, and nothing is resolved.

Shows the wrong time

Hi Jonas,

If you live in a region that does not observe daylight saving time (DST), but the Windows setting for that time zone
does adjust for daylight saving time, we recommend that you do not clear the
Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time check box in the
Time Zone Settings dialog box. Instead, we suggest that you select a time zone that does not observe daylight saving time and that has the same Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) offset as the current time zone.

For example, assume that your current time zone is (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US and Canada). There are two time zones that do not observe daylight saving time and that have the same UTC offset (-06:00):

• (UTC-06:00) Central America
• (UTC-06:00) Saskatchewan

To change your time zone setting, follow these steps:

• In Control Panel, click Clock, Language, and Region.
• Click Change the time zone.
• In the Time Zone area of the Date and Time
  dialog box, click Change time zone.
• In the Time zone list, select a time zone that does not observe daylight saving time and has the same UTC offset as your current time zone.
• Click OK.
• Click Apply, and then click OK.

Let us know how it goes.

 

"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.

 

Windows puts me in the wrong time zone, wrong location

Thank you for the detailed answer. Here's what I've done with your instructions.

• CMOS battery was replaced by Dell this week.
  
• I do not believe I have a system restore point enabled.
  
• Windows location services were already on.
  
• I had already cleared my location history, I did it again, did not fix the problem.
  
• I cleared my Microsoft account location history, did not fix the problem.
  
• I note that the Microsoft Maps app shows me in the wrong location -- Albuquerque, NM. I reset the app, no improvement. I deleted the app, no improvement.
  
• I tried Bing Maps. It first shows my default location, then zooms to that same location in Albuquerque, NM. I reported a problem with my location via feedback.
  
• After all these steps, enabling Automatic Time Zone immediately changes me to Mountain Time Zone (incorrect), instead of Pacific Time Zone (correct).
  

My children have told me this would not be a problem with a Mac. Beginning to agree. Is my next stop Microsoft support? I haven't had good luck there in the past.
