I attempted to run sfc/scannow and it said it repaired some things, but this still does not work. i would like to have full control over my computer. Thank you.

the post cut off a lot of my prior comments, but i have used the command prompt window to use timedate.cpl and was able to adjust the timezone with that, however it seems like windows 10 does not support British Columbia's new timezone changes.

all i want is for my PC to recognize my admin profile as the admin and i want to turn off automatic daylight savings changes.

Welcome Zachery,

Thanks for the details and screenshots, and for trying SFC and the timedate.cpl workaround already. I understand you want the clock to stop changing now that British Columbia no longer follows daylight saving time.

Before we start, please confirm:

Is this a personal computer with a personal Microsoft account or local account? Or is it a work or school computer, or managed by an organization?
Does Settings > Accounts > Your info show Administrator under your account name?

Looking forward to your update.
