My computer just locked my timezone to Arizona, and absolutely will not allow me to change it. It's causing havoc on alot of my apps that rely on my clock to function, and manually changing the time only seems to change the clock in the corner not the time that all my apps depend on.
I have tried scanning the computer for corrupted files as per a separate post I managed to dig up, but it found nothing to fix. With the clean boot I couldn't figure out what was doing it because it was still grayed out and set to Arizona as soon as it booted.

I had this same issue, but found a workaround (At least a temporary one)
Right click the date/time toolbar in the bottom right corner, then click "Adjust date/time" from the menu.
In that menu, scroll down to "related settings" and click "Add clocks for different time zones"
This SHOULD bring up a classic windows menu. Click the far left tab for "Date and Time" and select your time zone there. Click "Okay" and then "Apply" and you should be good to go.
i cant change my time to Amsterdam, i keep getting errors! i need the good time for my school, i keep getting issues with this computer, i hate it.
In my case, a Microsoft employee said that I had a broken computer. The real cause is a Windows software defect. I did the same, the time zone is unchanged. It's a pity that the company's employees who are supposed to solve problems don't know this.

I found an even easier way. Go to Settings-> Time & Language -> Region, then click on "Additional date, time & regional settings" on the right and then Change time zone under "Date and Time".
