Timing and scheduling issues after a daylight saving time update or time zone update
The start dates and the end dates for daylight saving time (DST) in many countries change from year to year. Additionally, some countries may change their DST recognition policy or may change the local time offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). In this scenario, some schedules and some applications that depend on date and time calculations may have a problem.
This issue occurs because of incorrect or missing time zone information, which can occur if the latest Windows Daylight Saving Time Cumulative Update has not been applied.
If the automated troubleshooter did not resolve your issue, see the manual steps listed in the following Knowledge Base article:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
