Wrong Time - Location Changed

We just got a new Spectrum router in NW Lower Michigan.  After we connected we found that the time on our PC is wrong and it said the time changed because our location changed.  I went to Settings - Location and checked that the Default Location is correct.  Because the time is wrong on my PC it causes quite a few problems.  I also went to Google Maps and found that the defualt location had changed to Milwaukee, WI which is in a different time zone.  I updated the default location there to be my Home location here in NW Lower Michigan and that cured the default location in Google Maps but did not affect the location being used on my Windows 11 (updated) desktop PC to automatically set the time.  How can I fix this issue?  Thanks!

  • Open Settings (Win + I).

    Go to Time & Language > Date & Time.

    Make sure Set time automatically is turned On.

    Toggle Set time zone automatically Off.

    Use the dropdown to select your correct Time zone (e.g., Eastern Time for NW Lower Michigan).
