Microsoft has released a message for Chilean users of the client and server editions of Windows 7-11.Information Guide Nigeria

The approaching Daylight Saving Time (DST) time zone switch may cause consumers to encounter problems and errors in several operating system components, claims the software behemoth. Fortunately, it is not a Y2K problem, so Chilean Windows users shouldn’t anticipate anything spectacular.

The Chilean government declared that the official time would advance by 60 minutes on September 10 rather than September 4 in an announcement made on August 9, 2022. As a result, Windows-based systems may exhibit the following signs:JAMB Result

Other Top Stories:

Time shown in Windows and apps will not be correct.

Apps and cloud services which use date and time for integral functions, such as Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Outlook, notifications and scheduling of meetings might be 60 minutes off.

Automation using date and time, such as Scheduled tasks, might not run at the expected time.

Timestamp on transactions, files, and logs will be 60 minutes off.

Operations that rely on time-dependent protocols such as Kerberos might cause authentication failures when attempting to logon or access resources.

Windows devices and apps outside of Chile might also be affected if they are connecting to servers or devices in Chile or if they are scheduling or attending meetings taking place in Chile from another location or time zone. Windows devices outside of Chile should not use the workaround, as it would change their local time on the device.

Here is what customers from Chile should do to avoid bugs and other problems caused by the DST change:

You can mitigate this issue on devices in Chile by doing either of the following on September 4, 2022 and undoing on September 11, 2022:

Select the Windows logo key, type “Date and time”, and select Date and time settings. From the Date & time settings page, toggle Adjust for daylight saving time automatically to Off.

Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Change time zone and uncheck the option for “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”.

To mitigate this issue in the Santiago time zone, after 12:00 a.m. on September 11, 2022, and for those in the Easter Islands time zone, after 10:00 p.m. on September 10, 2022, follow the steps below to re-enable automatic DST adjustments and ensure accurate time switching with future DST transitions. This can be done by doing either of the following:

Select the Windows logo key, type “Date and time”, and select Date and time settings. From the Date & time settings page, toggle Adjust for daylight saving time automatically to On.

Go to Control Panel > Clock and Region > Date and Time > Change time zone and check the option for “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”.

Only Chilean clients can utilise the solution indicated in the official literature; according to Microsoft, users in other countries shouldn’t modify their Daylight Saving Time settings. To support the new DST settings in Chile, the company intends to offer an update, although it will take additional time to develop, test, and distribute such upgrades. Users will need to manually modify their systems this year because Microsoft won’t make it before the change takes effect.
