Time zone updates for Brazil are available

Hi francebb 

according to the first post here, Microsoft released the updates containing the new DST rule for the OS's in July/2019...But as you can see in this article below, the OS version you mentioned is not supported anymore since April/2019...So I believe that you must not expect for updates for it....

Check this out:
     End of support for Windows Embedded 2009 (published: January 29, 2019)

Regards.

Hi there,

sorry for the very late reply, but I'm a Windows Embedded POSReady customer and I didn't receive the update through Windows Update when it was released. 

I noticed that on this page Link in the "July 2019 update" it says "this update was revised on August 13, 2019, to apply to Windows Embedded POSReady 2009" so it should be publicly available for people to download, however it isn't: letting the OS search for it within Windows Update doesn't show any new update and there's no sign of it in the Microsoft Update Catalog: KB4507704 I mean, it's there for pretty much every OS but not for Windows Embedded POSReady 2009. Is there a way we can get the update on our tills?

Thank you in advance,

Frank.

for issues related when using mobile devices, you need to remember that the mobile OS (Android or iOS) also need to be updated with the last DST definition...otherwise the user will continue see 1h time difference causing a big confusion..

In my cellphone for example, 1 day before the day when the DST change would occurs, I receive an update via OTA (Over-The-Air) informing that my DST settings were updated on the device and I had to restart it to have effect.

But I'm not sure how this DST settings are released....I don't know whether this update was sent by the cellphone manufacturer or the Cellphone company?

Anyway, this is something to have in mind also.

Will check Daniel, but indeed I have not heard any new complaints from our Brazil business, will let you know shortly.

Did you saw any changes in your machine since your last message? Some cases here have been solved from the past 2 (two) weeks, like Outlook for Android adding 1h to any event scheduled or accepted. Suddenly it just began to work properly.

Thanks will do Daniel.

Also an update I want to provide to you and everyone else;

We reached out to Microsoft Support directly and this was their response; seems Microsoft will not provide a new patch until or after 1st January 2020.

I couldn't test on W7 machines, but I think it should work. DST registry entries should look the same on both versions.

Take your time to compare W7 entries with the images I provided on my workaround.

Thanks Daniel ! as said with the patches Microsoft provided until now we have issues with both Windows 7 and Windows 10 workstations.

Today we will try to test your Windows 10 workaround.

Would this work for Windows 7 as well ?

Also interesting to read that new Windows updates, reverts back your workaround changes

I get it. I have this feeling too... but lets give them the benefit of the doubt.

When, and if, I confirm that all cumulative updates where installed on some of my machines, I'll put some effort to identify if any issues would happen with DST after it.

So far, the machines that I applied my workaround, most of them on 1803, had issues with DST after new updates got installed. Basically the updates reverted the changes I did on those registry entries. For my surprise, some of those machines got to 1903 and yet, had the changes I made reverted.

I think I was not clear, but I was referring to this question from Robby:

    "...Do you know there is a new patch from Microsoft to resolve this for both Windows 7 and Windows 10 ? "

I think that Microsoft didn't provide a new fix so far.
