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.
Thank you! That solved :)
This worked. Thanks.
I had the same problem, use control panel date&time settings, somehow worked for me.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you. As it turns out, I had my location privacy settings turned off. When I enabled “Let Apps locate your computer” I was able to enable Set Time Zone automatically! Duh!
