| 1487364 | 2022-07-14 06:10:00 | Back in the year 2000 or even earlier, I remembered I always get peeved off I've to set the Date & Time again after setup / installing Windows when in the very beginning it asked me to select the region I'm in. 22 years later and it's still the same. Switch on Laptop and it asks "Let's start with region, it this right?" and select New Zealand. Finally it gets into Windows and the time is wrong, it is always set to (UTC - 08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada) You would have thought the time zone should automatically set to the region initially selected from the beginning :groan: |

| 1487365 | 2022-07-14 07:08:00 | When installing Windows, you will be asked which time zone should be used . Windows provides a pre-setting here that depends on the localisation of the install media). This pre-setting is just a convenience option | piroska (17583) | ||
| 1487366 | 2022-07-14 11:44:00 | I don't think I've ever had this problem. But when I install Windows, I view all the options and select the ones I want. IIRC, the time zone settings are in an advanced and option dialogue which you could easily miss as it doesn't make you select them as part of the install process. |

| 1487367 | 2022-07-14 22:03:00 | I see that quite often with new Laptops , set the region during setup & then need to go in & set the region again after win loads It may be due to the laptop manufacturer dicking around with the Win setup process Plus Still the issue of control panel "Language for non unicode programs" staying as English(US) rather than english(NZ) I think that can cause printers to default to "letter" rather than A4 |
