Chrome shows wrong time zone

In Windows my time zone is set to UTC+2:00 Jerusalem

But several websites think I'm in UTC. And I see that Chrome reports my timezone as UTC. When I try this in my console

Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone

I get "UTC"

Though I can't for the life of me find any setting in Chrome that keeps it's own timezone.

I'm using WIndows 10. Here's the navigator.userAgent

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.88 Safari/537.36"

If I run tzutil /g in the command line, I get:

Israel Standard Time

There are extensions that let me change the timezone. But I'd rather solve the issue. So I can help other clients with similar issues.

UPDATE

It seems that this isssue happens only in pages run from visual studio via IIS. If I check the timezone in regular gmail or wikipedia etc then the tiemzone is correct.

But in a browser that was opened from VS, when running my asp.net site, the timezone always shows UTC. Even if in said browser I will open wikipedia. Th browser somehow gets "set" to utc.

Where can this be fixed?

Thanks!

Hi. I tried, but I am unable to reproduce this. Which version of Windows are you running? Have you run all Windows Updates? Can you supply the value of navigator.userAgent from the browser please? Also can you supply the value of tzutil /g from the Windows command line? Thanks. – Matt Johnson-Pint
Hi! Thanks for taking an interest. I added the relevant information to the post. I'd love to hear what's wrong. Thanks! – Yisroel M. Olewski
Hmmm.. That all looks fine. You shouldn't be getting UTC from the first one. I have the same versions and it works fine for me. Something else is at play - maybe an extension you installed, or maybe your clock is not synchronized correctly, not sure. Anyway, since there's nothing to offer from a programming perspective, I suggest you post about this on SuperUser and also file a bug/support request with Google here. Include screenshots where you can. Good luck! :) – Matt Johnson-Pint
Thanks. Done both. we'll wait and see :-) – Yisroel M. Olewski
See stackoverflow.com/questions/65912684/… - this is a known bug in Chrome. – Arvind Gopu

Try reseting your time zone again in Windows. I had this issue a few days ago as well. What I did was to set the time zone to something else, apply, then back to the correct one and apply.
