I used Hotmail for years, and still have Windows Live Mail on my laptop.  Tonight I logged into outlook.com with my hotmail account and saw that the time is out by one hour.  Saskatchewan does not have daylight savings time.  How do I correct the time in outlook.com?  

Note: I am running Windows 7 and my Windows clock at the bottom right of the task bar is correct.

Hi,

I am happy to help you with your concern. I understand that you want to change the Timezone of your account.

Usually, the time zone is automatically set after you have created your account and added your country detail. For some isolated cases you will need to change it manually to correct the time and date on the received emails.

  1. Go to this link: https://account.live.com
  2. Under "Overview", click Edit personal info.
  3. Under "Personal info", click the down arrow under the "Time zone" and then choose your preferred time zone.

If you have further clarifications, feel free to post back anytime.

Thanks!

Hello Everyone,

I want to let you know this issue has been recognized by the Outlook.com team. I have been informed they will attempt to resolve the issue in the next update to Outlook.com. I am unable to provide an exact date but I have been assured it is being worked on.

I appreciate everyone sending this up to us!

    Nothing required you to install Windows 10 and you should be able to revert to what you had before the upgrade if you wish. Start>Settings>Update & Security>Recovery>Go Back.

    This is now resolved for outlook.com, but is still a problem for Onedrive. How do we get that part fixed as well?

    Here is a suggestion by an Eric Yang, who may or not be a mug wump  with MSN:

    http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/172/p/187239/551406.aspx#551406.

    I myself do NOT use one drive so do not know what is up with that? I am quite content with most of OLD processes that worked when put in place and did not require a massive headache or three to get fixed.

    Still believe if it is NOT broken, don't fix it.

    Am now struggling with new Windows 10 and wondered which of the God's I made mad?
