When looking at the events listed in the application and system log entries via Event Viewer, can you please advise what timezone the "Date/Time" column is set for? Is this the device's local time or is this UTC time? and if this is for UTC time, is there any way of listing the events to display with the device's local timezone?
Thank you.

The records for the event are timestamped in UTC. When you view the event log, the viewer adjusts the timestamp to the current local time zone for display.

Thank you for your answer. How do I adjust the timestamp to match the local time zone of the device where the logs are collected from?
You don't, windows does this for you. Are you viewing another server in a different time zone?

So are you saying that the Date - as seen below i.e. Date: 5/10/2021 1:12:06 AM - is displaying the local time zone of the respective device where the system event log data has been collected from?
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM
Date: 5/10/2021 1:12:06 AM
Event ID: 10016
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Yes, the time stamps displayed in event viewer are adjusted from UTC to the current local time zone for display
Ok, thank you.
In this case, I don't seem to find a correlation of events in the system log for the tasks that were running when the event logs were collected. The event logs - via event viewer - showing Date: 5/10/2021 1:12:06 AM as the most recent entry whereby the events that we are looking onto have occurred on 5/10/2021 10:10 AM.
Here in this example we can see the two time stamps that have been adjusted to local time. Then down below in the XML view we can see the zulu (UTC) timestamp
