    Hi,

    Welcome to our new Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Kindly go through the following article:

    Change TimeZone and DST setting via Group Policy. Step-by-Step Guide.

    Please Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.

    Besides, due to my research, this option can be controlled via the following registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation

    Value Name: DynamicDaylightTimeDisabled

    Value Type: REG_DWORD

    If you set the Value Data to 0, the option “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time” will be checked. You can deploy the registry changes using startup script or via group policy preferences.

    Note: For some time zones, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is not observed. In this situation, there is no “Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes” check box. This is by design. The above registry works only if your time zone is observed by DST.

    Hope can help you. Have a nice day!

    Best Regards,

    Kiki

    Run "timedate.cpl" as administrator worked for me, I entered it into the "type here to search" on the taskbar and then right-clicked on it to "run as administrator"

    Hi. accepted answer link isn't working for me so i decide to explain how i turn that off myself

    press "windows icon + R"

    type "timedate.cpl" in opened window and enter

    click on "Chage time zone" and you can turn off automatically adjust clock for daylight saving time from opened window

    i believe its work for old versions of windows too (tested on windows 10)
