I’m using latest versions of Win 10 64-bit and Thunderbird, and also Microsoft Alarms & Clock app. Lately, both Thunderbird and Alarms & Clock app are showing times that are 1 hour behind the system time. I found I could add an Environment Variable—TZ—and get the Thunderbird time correct, but that didn’t affect the Alarms & Clock time (and I don’t know why I should have had to do anything at all). Anyone have any idea what’s going on here and how to fix it?

Hi risman,

You need to check your time settings. Right click the Start button and select Settings. Select Time & Language. Make sure it has the right time zone selected for you. Check the other settings in this applet. Sometimes after an update, for some unknown reason, users have seen their time zone changed. Worth checking.

HTH, Dana:)) 👨‍🔬
