    My laptop isn't automatically changing to account for the time change


    Whenever I try to update or sync my time to the area I live in Pacific Time my laptop says that I'm synced and up to date but according to all my other devices I'm one hour behind. So far I've tried going through settings and using the control panel to try and update it, can someone tell me how to use BIOS or any other methods to try and solve this?

    :)

    Automatic Time Change

    I'm not sure that can happen. I'm pretty sure your time zone is tied to your Microsoft Account. You'll have to change it manually.

  3. trying to change time on toshiba laptop

    Hey TerryRice2!

    • Open Settings.
    • Click Time and Language.
    • If you want to set your laptop time automatically, switch "Set Time Automatically" and "Set Time Zone Automatically" to on, and click the "sync now" button. A few restarts later, and maybe a little wait, and your laptop will sync to the appropriate time
      for your location.
      • Sometimes the minute is right, but not the hour. In this case, just flip the "Set Time Zone Automatically" to off, and choose the time zone in the dropdown near the bottom of the page.
      • If you need to set it completely manually, switch "Set Time Automatically" and "Set Time Zone Automatically" to off, and click Change. Then change it in the dialog box.

    Win 10 Set Time Automatically Changes time AND Date

    Hello,

    I understand the inconvenience you are facing. We will help you.

    In the Date and Time Settings dialog box, do one or more of the following:


    • To change the hour, double-click the hour, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

    • To change the minutes, double-click the minutes, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

    • To change the seconds, double-click the seconds, and then click the arrows to increase or decrease the value.

    • When you have finished changing the time settings, click OK.

    • To change the time zone, click Change time zone.

    • In the Time Zone Settings dialog box, click your current time zone in the drop-down list, and then click
      OK.
    Also I suggest you to check the below steps to change the time using the command prompt.

    • Right click on Start and select the
      Command prompt (Admin).
    • Type the word "time". Type a space, and enter the new time in the following format:
    • HH:MM:SS AM/PM. For example, time 5:34:00 PM, time 12:15:00 AM, etc.
    • Press enter or return.
    Hope it helps. Keep us posted to help you better.
