How to change your time zone in Windows 11

Contents

As usual, Windows 11 will automatically set your PC's time zone based on your location information, but if you have location services disabled (Windows is confused), you can also manually set your time zone. That's how.

First, open Windows Settings by pressing Windows + i on your keyboard. Or you can open Start and search “setting”, then click on the icon “Windows Settings”.

When Settings opens, select “Time and language” in the sidebar, then click “Date and Time”.

In Windows settings 11, select "Time and language", then click "Date and Time".

In the Date and time settings, scroll down and place the switch next to “Determine time zone automatically” on “disabled”.

If the option is grayed out, It is because your privacy options do not allow sharing the location of your PC with Microsoft. If that's the case, then this option is already set to “disabled”.

Change

Then, go up one row in Settings until you see the option “Time zone”. Click on the drop-down menu next to it and select the time zone you would like to use.

Click on the drop-down menu next to "Time Zone" and select the time zone you would like to use.

Thereafter, close Settings and you are good to go. If at any time you need to manually change your time zone again, just open Settings and change it in Time and language> Date and time. Or if you want Windows to set your time zone automatically, change “Determine time zone automatically” to position “Activated”. Happy travels!
