It will be a challenge if a device is past its end of support and manufacturer won't be releasing updated time zones for provinces that are remaining in daylight savings time.For old devices in BC, one can't continue to use "Pacific time (GMT - 8h)" with automatic daylight savings time adjustments off. That would put the device in Pacific Standard Time (GMT - 8h) instead of Pacific Daylight Savings Time (GMT - 7h). Instead, one would use "Mountain time (GMT - 7h)" with automatic daylight savings time adjustments off. That would display the correct local time converted from the correct internal GMT time.
FWIW, I am finding the same problems with Shaw/Rogers account. Have to change back the time zone when going into account.
With EQ, I just change the time zone manually when I go in and change it back when finished.
My tower computer was purchased about two years ago? Windows 11 was installed.
There can be a problem with an old device that combines the time zone and some context together with a location setting. For example, picking Vancouver as location to configure time zone and the TV listings to display. With no update, the shows listed will be correct but the clock would be wrong after local time remained in Pacific Daylight Savings time on Nov 1.

Microsoft is still supporting Windows 11 and had added new Canadian time zones in a security update.
For example, Windows 11 computers in BC should be changed to use the "Pacific Time (British Columbia)" time zone for pemanent Pacific daylight savings time. The computers were likely set previously to "Pacific Time (US & Canada)" zone.
Set the correct time zone first. Then, set the correct time to end up with the correct internal GMT time. Check using the NRC Web Clock to see how far off the combination is.

Thanks Norman...I changed the time zone to Pacific BC and now it all works!!
So can now log into EQ without having to reset time zone. Really appreciate your help.

OfflineWindows 11 computers in BC, Alberta, and Manitoba should have their time zone changed to one of these new Canadian time zones:
(UTC−07:00) Pacific Time (British Columbia)
(UTC−06:00) Mountain Time (Alberta)
(UTC−05:00) Manitoba
The previous Pacific, Mountain, or Central time zone won't be correct.
