A few days ago my W11 decided that I had moved to New Zealand and adjusted the time accordingly. I reset it manually and reset it to automatic.
Today, it did the same thing again. Does anyone have any idea what’s going on?
This should not be an “I hate Microsoft” thread please,
You probably have Location Services enabled, and being Microsoft it’s a dog’s breakfast.
Turn off Location Services and Windows will stop second-guessing what you set as your location. (Of course, that also means that if it’s actually a portable device, and you relocate it and care about Windows having an accurate idea of your locality, you’ll have to manually adjust it.)
Also, more specifically to time zone settings, there’s this:
Turn off the setting that allows Windows to guess your time zone and set it manually.
I have switched it off. Time will tell if that does the trich - Thank you.
Is that how you Kiwis spell “trick”?
I got admit, on this one Microsoft screwed the pooch and I make my living off of Microsoft. I was getting annoyed as all hell with Windows thinking I was in Australia instead of Canada for some reason.
They spell it “truck”
The other possibility is if you have a VPN running? For a long time Google thought I was in Sweden.
gnoitall’s solution appears to have worked. But time will tell…
