Unable To Change Time Zone Windows Server 2022
Cre Tran
It appears that installing Windows 8 on top of XP doesn't give you the option to choose the locale and other settings -- I've got the right keyboard layout restored, and can change the system locale to be for the UK, but the system doesn't let me now change the time zone -- choosing the option to try to do it in the control panel, gives me the following error:
The following did not work for me:* Add Users group to Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy > Security Settings > Local Policies > User Rights Assignment > Change the time zone.
It makes no sense to me but the following config fixed the problem on my Win10 laptop which was upgraded from Win7 or Win8 (forget which). My login account was already in local Administrators group which was already granted the same config:
Use the windows search to look for "timedate.cpl". next, right-click it and select "create shortcut". you will get a message about how windows can't create a shortcut there. It will ask you if you want to create a desktop shortcut instead. click yes (or accept or whatever). Right-click the desktop shortcut. Select 'Run as administrator (or whatever the exact option is. it's got the shield thing on it. just click that). Then you can change your time and date as you wish.
I fixed mine, but I wasn't paying full attention to the exact steps. I just remember going back to my Control Panel, Date and Time AGAIN, and the second or third time it took, set, worked, and hasn't given me anymore trouble.
Alright, now we were on to something. After digging around a bit more I found that inside the Local Security Policy, the Users group had not been added to the security settings for the Change the time zone property. Sure enough, adding Users to this allowed anyone to change the time zone settings and I confirmed this with other Windows 10 computers to determine that this is in fact how it should be. So, without further ado, here are the steps.
I cant change date and time on my laptop. Its windows7. When i click on date or time settings theres just a bit loading on mouse n nothing happens. Its 75 days gap between time. I just cant change it. Help me plz
Thanks!!! Worked. I had a new PC just this day when im writing this review and the clock would not show the correct time. I manually changed time but on some apps it still chose the wrong zone so i decided to follow these steps and it worked!
I feel blessed to find this (not joking)
Non-administrator users cannot change or interact with the Set time zone automatically setting. The setting is either not visible or is "greyed out" in the Settings app. This is by design as the Set time zone automatically setting is a system wide setting that applies to all user profiles on a machine.
To resolve this issue, the IT administrators should make sure the setting Set time zone automatically is enabled before deployment of a device. If the device is already deployed, you can use one of the following methods mentioned below to enable the setting.
To change the registry settings, use Group Policy Preferences to enable the Set the time zone automatically setting. Next, follow these steps to enable the Location setting in Local Group Policy Editor.
Run a PowerShell script to change the registry settings in Microsoft Intune. Next, use the mobile device management (MDM) policy Privacy/LetAppsAccessLocation to enable the Location setting as follows:
For more information about other options to control applications access to the location, see Privacy/LetAppsAccessLocation_ForceAllowTheseApps, Privacy/LetAppsAccessLocation_ForceDenyTheseApps and Privacy/LetAppsAccessLocation_UserInControlOfTheseApps.
It's a best practice to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for your instances to synchronize your Amazon CloudWatch logs, metrics, local logs, and other services. However, you can also use a different time zone.
Amazon provides the Amazon Time Sync Service. Amazon Time Sync Service is accessible from all EC2 instances. If you can't change the time settings, then use the command prompt window to configure the Amazon Time Sync Service on your instance.
If you use Windows Server 2008 or later and you want to make the new time persist after reboot, add a RealTimeIsUniversal registry key. For instructions, see the To prevent your time zone from changing after you set it for Windows Server section on the Windows tab of Change the time zone of your instance.
If your instance is joined to a domain in AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory, then change the time settings. The time settings on your instance must use the domain controller as the time source to avoid a time skew. A time skew breaks authentication because of Kerberos restrictions. This missing authentication might cause issues when you log in to the instance. For more information, see
If you try to change the time zone in the control panel with the Open Platform Communications (OPC) user or another user that has Administrator rights, the action will fail. You will receive a notification that you do not have the permissions to perform this task and that you should contact the administrator.
Here is how to fix it for good! Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and turn off set time and date automatically. Go to Macintosh HD in finder (you might have to enable it to show in the sidebar in Finder settings), press command + shift + . in the folder to show hidden folders. Click var>db look for timed folder. To unlock timed folder right click on it to Get info, unlock at the bottom right to make changes, then change Privilege for everyone to Read & Write. In timed folder delete com.apple.timed.plist file. Restart your computer and turn auto time back on and it's fixed! This can happen on any computer not just he Macbook Air.
addressed to apple staff: Advice to fix the problem with automatic time setting on macbook air m1. Telling people perfunctorily to do what doesn't work - which is why they're on this site in the first place - is worse than useless.
Hello, this is exactly what I have done and ended without being able to set automatically. I have to keep the manual setting as only option. I was wondering if anyone has a hint how to return to automatic setting. Thanks
I know this is kind of an older problem but I just ran into it myself after my Mac automatically updated to macOS Sonoma 4.1 and ran out of battery because it hadn't been used for a while. I figured out a way to solve it after Apple Support was no help, so I thought I'd share it here in case it might still help someone. What fixed it for me was turning off the automatic date and time adjustment and setting the time manually (exactly to the second) which allowed me to connect to the internet again and subsequently download and install the macOS Sonoma 4.4 Update which seems to fix the bug. After that, I just turned the automatic time adjustment back on and it worked fine.
Open System Settings > General > Date and Time. Make sure the 'Set automatically' button is toggled on, and where it says 'Source' click 'Set". Here you should see the default 'Apple (time.apple.com)'. Here you want to delete the source and re-type it exactly as it was, then hit the 'Default' button. It should update with the correct date and time then. Hope this helps!
If your device still shows an incorrect date, time, or time zone, change each setting manually instead of using Set Automatically. For example, you might have iOS 9 or earlier, and your country or region, or government changes the time zone or the observance of daylight saving time.
If I go to change the time zone of my instance it tells me that I can't and that I need to contact the server administrator to fix it, the problem is that I'm a sneaker reseller and the bots I run take their date and time settings from my instance's time zone, so I don't know what I need to do to fix it because I don't have access to Google support. Can anyone help me with this?
