14 DAY TRIAL // While the rollout of Windows 11 2022 Update continues, Microsoft also tries to make sure the new version is struggling with fewer bugs.
And recently, it managed to resolve a series of potential issues caused by the daylight savings time change in Jordan.
Computers in the country might be confused by the new settings, with Microsoft explaining that the time shown in Windows and apps may not be correct, while the notifications you get could obviously be issued with a 60-minute delay.
While you might be tempted to believed that the whole thing only affects users in Jordan, it does not. Microsoft says other devices could experience the same issues if they connect to servers or devices located in the country.
“On October 5, 2022, the Jordanian government made an official announcement ending the winter-time Daylight Saving Time (DST) time zone change. Starting at 12:00 a.m. Friday, October 28, 2022, the official time will not advance by an hour and will permanently shift to the UTC + 3 time zone,” Microsoft says.
“Windows devices and apps outside of Jordan might also be affected if they are connecting to servers or devices in Jordan or if they are scheduling or attending meetings taking place in Jordan from another location or time zone. Windows devices outside of Jordan should not use the workaround, as it would change their local time on the device.”
Microsoft has issues Windows 11 2022 Update patch KB5018496 to resolve the bug, while also providing a workaround to deal with the whole thing manually.
The company offers the following recommendations:
- Select the Windows logo key, type "Date and time", and select Date and time settings. From the Date & time settings page, toggle Adjust for daylight saving time automatically to Off.
- Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Change time zone and uncheck the option for “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”.
