[Users] Timezone Hypervisor/VM

[Bob]

I have the same issue. I have assumed it was a Windows configuration 
issue. I have relied on sync'ing to Internet Time upon each bootup. It 
would be nice to find a solution to this. My Windows VM consistently 
comes up exactly 5 hours off, and although NTP is configured the time is 
never corrected until I manually sync to Internet Time. It certainly 
appears to be using the wrong TZ (GMT).
