Changing the date and time works fine. I just can't change the time zone.

I have tried via the GUI (logged in as my main named user (who I think has admin permissions), as well as when logged in as "Administrator")

I get:

Unable to continue
You do not have permission to perform this task.
Please contact your computer administrator for help

Then I tried the "tzutil" via command line. (The CMD was launched from the run box using CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER for admin mode.)

Code:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.2.8102]
(c) 2011 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>tzutil /s "Singapore Standard Time"
TZUTIL: Insufficient privileges to set the current time zone.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Solved,

go to C:\Windows\System32\ and open CMD as "Administrator" with pressing right mouse taste and "Run as Administrator".

After this no errors appear if i put your string, and yes, his change my location.

Best Regards
Francesco.

I did exactly as you said, but I still get: "TZUTIL: Insufficient privileges to set the current time zone."

1, Disable UAC (Control Panel > User accounts > Change User account control settings)
2, Reboot your PC
3, Log back in and see if you can change the time zone if you can
4, Enable the UAC and reboot once again (It's important step because lot of Metro apps will not function)

Report us back with results.

Nope, UAC was already at the lowest setting.

i'm now at the work, when i'm come back @ home i try to make a sample video for solve your problem.

i've reproduced your error and solved it with the steps already written from me.
