How to Change Time Zone in Windows 11

You can use a number of methods to change Time Zone in Windows 11. Incorrect time zone might be one of the reasons why your computer shows the wrong date and time. Although Windows 11 can detect time zone automatically, the process might fail if there is no active Internet connection.

In such a case, you need to change the time zone in Windows 11 manually. This article will show you how to adjust the time zone in Windows 11.

Change Time Zone in Windows 11

You can change the time zone using the Settings app and the Control Panel. These are traditional methods. In addition to them, there are a couple exotic ways that involve a console command, and even the Registry. Let's review them all.

Change the time zone in Windows 11 using Settings

1. Press Win + I to open the Windows Settings app.
2. Go to the Time and Language section, then click Date and Time.
3. Alternatively, you can right-click the clock in the bottom-right corner of the screen and then select Adjust date and time.
4. Find the Set time zone automatically option and turn it off.
5. Next, select the time zone from the Time zone drop-down list. Once you have picked the preferred time zone, Windows will apply changes automatically without additional confirmations.

Another method is to use the classic Control Panel. Similar to many other settings, you can change the time zone in Windows 11 using not only the Windows Settings app but also the classic Control Panel.

Using Control Panel

1. Open Control Panel in Windows 11 using any preferred method. For example, press Win + R and enter control.
2. If you use the Category view, click Clock and Region > Change the time zone.
3. If you use the Large icons or Small icons view, click Date and Time.
4. Next, click the Change time zone button.
5. Select a new time zone from the list, then click OK to apply changes.

Using the tzutil tool in Windows Terminal

1. Press Win + X or right-click the Start menu button and select Windows Terminal (Admin).
2. Enter the following command: tzutil /g. Press Enter, and then Windows Terminal will show you your current time zone.
3. Next, enter this command: tzutil /l. It will show you the list of all available time zones. If you know which time zone you need to set in Windows 11, skip this step.
4. Now enter tzutil /s "TIME ZONE NAME" but replace TIME ZONE NAME with the proper name from the list you can find in the previous step. For example, tzutil /s "UTC".
5. Optional: add _dstoff to the time zone name to disable Daylight Saving Time: tzutil /s "UTC_dstoff".

Adjust the time zone in Windows 11 in the Registry

Finally, this part covers changing the time zone in Windows 11 using Windows Registry. Do the following.

1. Press Win + R and enter the regedit into the Run box.
2. In the Windows Registry Editor window, paste the following path into the address bar: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation.
3. Find the TimeZoneKeyName value and double-click it.
4. Change the value data to the preferred time zone name, for example, GMT Standard Time.
5. Click OK to save the changes.
