The steps outlined below will allow you to correct the time zone on a computer

1.  Open command prompt as administrator. 

2. Run command tzutil /s "name of time zone". 
     - Ex "tzutil /s "eastern standard time" 

2a. Running command tzutil /l will list all time zone names if you dont know the names.

3. If the command goes through but the time zone doesnt change: run the following commands and then try running the tzutil again

net stop w32time
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.it.pool.ntp.org 1.it.pool.ntp.org 2.it.pool.ntp.org 3.it.pool.ntp.org"
net start w32time
w32tm /config /update
w32tm /resync /rediscover
Only should be used if you're unsure which category to use.
