Adjusting the Date, Time, and Region Settings in the Control Panel
Windows 10 provides users with the ability to customize their system’s date, time, and region settings in the Control Panel. This allows users to set their local time zone, set up daylight savings options, and synchronize the system clock with an accurate internet source. In this article, we’ll look at how to adjust the date, time, and region settings in Windows 10 using the Control Panel.
