Time

[goatedpenguin]

Hi all so I have been having a problem where I can't enable location for my settings app on windows to sync the time nor can I use the "sync time feature". After doing a bit of research I made a bat file with the commands appended down below. This solution worked for a while and now its back to square 1. Help would appreciated, thanks in advance  

Tried going to Advanced system settings > computer name > Network ID > change for home use but did not work

 

NOTE THAT I AM DUAL BOOTING WITH LINUX HOWEVER MY HARDWARE CLOCK FOR WINDOWS IS ON UTC AND THIS WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THE DUALBOOT WAS EVEN INSTALLED.

 

THIS PC IS FOR HOME USE IT IS NOT A ENTERPRISE ONE FYI

 

batch file commands ran as admin:

 

SC config trustedinstaller start=auto
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f
reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

 

The problem:

Organization error

Try running command prompt as admin

 

tzutil /s "central standard time" 

 

(or whatever your timezone may be)

Glad that worked.

I still find it a little funny that some programmer at Microsoft was, A) told to make a .exe file in System32 that literally just sets the timezone, and B) that it didn't happen until Windows 8

I will never get why every command in windows has to be so "individualized"
