Setting the Windows Time Zone

Linux uses the time of the motherboard CMOS chip as the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and determines the system time based on the configured time zone. However, Windows uses the CMOS time as the system time directly without converting it based on the time zone. You need to perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Windows VM.
  2. Click in the lower left corner, choose Windows PowerShell, and enter regedit.exe to open the registry.
  3. In the displayed Registry Editor window, choose HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > TimeZoneInformation.
  4. In the right pane, right-click a blank area and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value to add a REG_DWORD code. Set its name to RealTimeIsUniversal and value to 1.

    If the operations cannot be performed by using a mouse, you can use the keyboard instead.
