Windows 10: Unable to change time, date and timezone.

Awhile ago my time got changed for some unknown reason causing it to be an hour behind. since then its changed to now being AM instead of PM from what my time used to be. unsure how long its been for that but its starting to affect many thing such as ordering food, ordering packages, etc. no idea how to fix it and would really like to now how it could be fixed. Can't even change the time zone either as its greyed out. if anyone knows a fix pleas let me know. thanks.

Date/Time

Hi Allison, thanks for your question. I'm Graeme, a fellow Microsoft user.

Could I get you to try changing your time zone to another country, then changing it back to your own? This might reset the date and time settings.

Here are the steps:

- Click Start and type "date".

- Click on Date & Time settings

- Change your timezone to something else, then close the settings app. Open it to the same place again, then change your timezone back to what it should be.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Windows Time service.

- Click Start and type "services.msc".

- Click the first result.

- Find Windows Time in the list, right-click it and click Restart.

Let me know how you go after trying these steps! Thanks!

 

Timezone Change

Hi Iselda,

For us to properly isolate the issue with changing the timezone, we would like to know the following:

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
• What is the exact error message that you are getting?
• To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

As an initial resolution, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

• In the search box, type in cmd. You'll see Command Prompt listed.
  Right-click and select Run as Administrator.
• Type tzutil /l to see the list of all time zones.
• Once you have found your time zone, copy the description that is on the second line. Example:
  
  (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)
  
  Central Standard Time <---- copy
  
• Afterwards, type tzutil /s "paste the time zone here". Like this:
  
  tzutil /s "Central Standard Time" (make sure to include the quotations!); then, Enter.
  
• Exit the Command Prompt, and then go to your time settings.

We look forward to your response.
