Microsoft has done a fantastic job expanding its features and capabilities and this should always be your first stop with anything to do with your PC system. If you’re not relying on the Windows 10 search feature to work with your computer, you’re really missing out. To switch to the correct timezone, move over to the search box and search for “timezone”: It does, however, show a very attractive calendar and schedule: I mean, I know I’m up early, but it’s not 5:53am! You would think that clicking on the time would bring up a way to get to the settings and change it, but it doesn’t. I notice things are wrong when I look at the Taskbar and see the wrong darn time: The other reason is because somehow you’ve disabled automatic timezone detection. I could be sitting in Kansas City but if I’m using a VPN based in Miami, Florida, my computer might well decide I’m in Eastern time (EST), not Central (CST) time. There are actually two reasons the automatic timezone can fail, one of which might surprise you: Using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can mess up the computer’s calculation of your location because it’ll often default to the location of the VPN relay. With this level of technological sophistication, it’s no surprise that your devices should be able to automatically detect when you cross a timezone line and automatically switch so that you’re always reflecting the correct time as you travel.
It’ll know at a level of granularity that can show what side of the road you’re on, let alone neighborhood or city!
Don’t believe me? Open up Google Maps and have it locate you. It’s super easy to use PowerShell to check the Time Zone info as well.At this point in the evolution of the Internet, your computer knows where you are 99% of the time, to the point where it can be rather disconcerting. You can use the switch /l to list all valid time zone IDs and display name. For example, tzutil /s "Pacific Standard Time"Īdding a suffix to the time zone ID disables Daylight Saving Time adjustments, like: tzutil /s "Pacific Standard Time_dstoff" To change the time zone, add a switch /s to the tzutil command line. Open Command Prompt window, and type the following command for checking the time zone info. You can turn on the option for Daylight Saving Time there too. Open Control Panel, click Clock, Language, and Region section, then Change the time zone.Ĭlick the “ Change time zone…” button to change to a different zone. Yes, you can still go with the old school way. You can switch to a different zone from the drop-down menu. Open Settings app, go to Time & language, you will see the Time Zone info right in the middle of Date & time section. Here are 4 ways to find it out in Windows 10. And we all should know which zone we belong to but do you know where to check it to make sure you are in the right zone and change it if it’s not?
Every Windows system has a default time zone set up during the installation.
