    Open Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time > Set Time Zone: Manually select the correct time zone from the dropdown menu.

    ==========

    Settings > Time & Language > Date & time.

    Click on Additional date, time & regional settings.

    Under Date & time, select Set the time and date.

    Go to the Internet Time tab and click Change settings.

    Ensure the Synchronize with an internet time server checkbox is selected.

    In the server dropdown menu, choose a reliable time server like time.windows.com.

    Click Update now and then OK on both windows.

    Hello,

    It's possible that the incorrect time zone is being set by the Rogers internet service provider's network time protocol (NTP) server. To fix this issue, you can try changing the time zone settings on the affected Windows 10 machines to the correct time zone manually.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
    2. Click on Time & Language.
    3. Click on Date & Time.
    4. Toggle the "Set time zone automatically" option to Off.
    5. Select the correct time zone from the drop-down menu.
    6. Toggle the "Set time zone automatically" option back to On.

    If the issue persists, you can try changing the NTP server settings on the affected Windows 10 machines to use a different NTP server. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
    2. Click on Time & Language.
    3. Click on Date & Time.
    4. Toggle the "Set time automatically" option to Off.
    5. Click on the "Add clocks for different time zones" link.
    6. Click on the "Internet Time" tab.
    7. Click on the "Change settings" button.
    8. Enter a different NTP server address in the "Server" field.
    9. Click on the "Update now" button to synchronize the time with the new NTP server.

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
