How do I fix Windows 11 automatically changing my timezone to Jakarta when I'm still in my office network, home network, or mobile hotspot?

Question

I'm experiencing an issue where Windows 11's timezone is changing to Jakarta (+7) even when I'm still on my office network, home network, or mobile hotspot, which should be set to +2. I've tried turning off the location option and setting the timezone manually, but the issue still persists. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? Thank you.

Answer 1

I tried everything described below and it still wouldn't change. However, I fixed it using PowerShell commands.

Step 1

Open PowerShell as Administrator

Step 2

Run the command

Get-TimeZone -ListAvailable

This will list all the available timezones and their names

Step 3

Identify the name of your timezone, e.g. "South Africa Standard Time", then run the following command to set the timezone

Set-TimeZone -Name [Name of your Timezone]

Be sure to check if you have administrator privileges. Otherwise, you can contact your IT administrator if need be.

I hope this helps

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Based on the description, I understand that you're experiencing issues with your Windows 11 timezone. This issue could be caused by a few different things, but here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1、Check your device's time and date settings to ensure they are correct. If they are incorrect, adjust them accordingly.

2、Check if your device is set to automatically adjust for daylight saving time. If it is, try turning this feature off and see if the issue persists.

To adjust for daylight saving time on Windows 11, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
2. Click on Time & Language.
3. Under the Date & Time section, toggle on the "Set time zone automatically" option.
4. If your time zone observes daylight saving time, toggle on the "Adjust for daylight saving time automatically" option.
5. If your time zone does not observe daylight saving time, toggle off the "Adjust for daylight saving time automatically" option.

Windows 11 should now automatically adjust for daylight saving time based on your time zone settings.

3、Check if your device is connected to a domain network. If it is, the timezone may be set by the domain controller. You may need to contact your network administrator to adjust the timezone settings.

4、Try resetting your device's timezone settings to the default settings. To do this, go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time > Additional date, time, & regional settings > Change time zone. From there, click the "Reset" button.

I hope the information above is helpful.
