Default Time zones

The following table shows the default time zones per region in Windows 8.

Important

Windows updates the time zones in the registry when time zones are available and updates are downloaded. Because time zones can change, you should use the tzutil command-line tool to verify the time zone on a computer that is running Windows. The tzutil tool is installed by default with Windows. For more information, see Tzutil Command-Line Options.
