StandardName               : UTC-11
DaylightName               : UTC-11

SupportsDaylightSavingTime : False

Id                         : Aleutian Standard Time
DisplayName                : (UTC-10:00) Aleutian Islands

DaylightName               : Aleutian Daylight Time

Set Time Zone

For example:

Set-TimeZone -Name “Canada Central Standard Time”

At this point, you can use the following command again to see your current Time Zone:

Get-TimeZone

In your output you will see that your Time Zone has been changed:

Output
Id                         : Canada Central Standard Time
DisplayName                : (UTC-06:00) Saskatchewan
StandardName               : Canada Central Standard Time
DaylightName               : Canada Central Daylight Time
BaseUtcOffset              : -06:00:00
SupportsDaylightSavingTime : False
