Well I have no way of knowing for sure now why my desktop's time didn't automatically change. My two laptops didn't have "set time zone automatically" either and they made the change. I suspect that somehow my desktop was set to the wrong zone.

My laptop did not change itself either. I am using a VPN with a location in Denver not Kentucky, I wonder if that cased the temporal irregularity. I set it manually.

By default, Windows should call home to their own NTP servers through port 123 (I believe). If using a firewall other than the default Windows then this port maybe blocked. Kinda doubtful but worth checking. There is also the possibility of network traffic effecting the NTP servers. I ran into this problem with an enterprise network. Windows will have a set duration as to when to check for time updates, believe it is one week. So if there was no response from the NTP server (for what ever reason), time will not be checked again for another week. You can force a Time Sync through the Time and Language settings in the control panel.

VPN should not have an effect on time change.

Are these Windows 10 machines or are they running something else?

Mine is an up to date Win 10 machine. The update was completed and installed 06/Mar, the day before the DLST took effect. I experienced no other "problem" but I did not get worked up about this. I just corrected the time myself.

Sitting down, facing forward.
@CMD-Ky You may want to consider downloading the Windoohs install tool and doing a complete, fresh, install of W10 now that you've upgraded. That can be a real PITA, though, depending on how much software you have already running from the previous version of Windoohs.

I may have misspoken and given a wrong impression. My machine is relatively new and came with "10" installed. The "update" I referred to is just one of the usual MS updates.

I was searching for Windows 10 machines not changing to DST and I found out it can happen on some machines running Windows 10 (1909). Past years for DST problems have also been tracked back to Windows Updates too.

EDIT: Don't worry! It isn't a bug, it is a feature.

Windows 10 on all 3 machines. The desktop use to be dual boot XP/7 and it would change up or down 1 hour as I booted each one for a total of 2 hours change. (but that's another story)

I just got excited finding two sources for a preorder Odin mod for under 90 bucks. Then I realized it is the Odin 200 Mod with a Dovpo chipset. :-x

It's just not the same with out the DNA! $99!!! Are they out of their minds? You can get a Wismec RX2 dual 21700 mod that runs Arctic Fox for less than half that price! For a dual 21700 non DNA mod the RX2 is surprisingly small & not that bad of a mod + Arctic Fox :)

Eww Wismec = Joyetech, and nothing they make will ever enter this house again...

We'v all had bad experiences with certain brand names :( As for the RX2, i'v had it for a long time now & it works reasonably well. Arctic Fox has all the functionality of E-Scribe, granted it only works on certain boards but it works nicely on the RX2!
I'm not suggesting to run out & buy the RX2, I'm comparing it to the new offering from DovPoo & DovPoo is coming up way short for twice the price! Just Saying :)

    Say, that does taste a lot like peanut brittle. :thumbs:
    When we were down in WV my aunt made us microwave peanut brittle. Yummy :D It was about 5 steps and 10 minutes total. But you need like an 8 cup measuring cup. If anyone wants it, let me know :thumb:

    Yup. And in over 4 years only a Pico (for the wife, a mod beater), and it still looks and works great BTW. But eff em. ;)

    It is probably just a quirk of mine but I would have some reticence about vaping something called or made by Dov Poo. But...I would drink a beer named Corona.
