To show UTC time in Windows, follow these steps: Right-click on the clock at the bottom-right of your screen, select 'Adjust date/time'. In the settings menu, turn off the option that says 'Set time automatically' and then you can change the time zone to UTC without modifying your current time configuration. This doesn't change your system clock, but you can view the UTC time zone directly.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Can I set my Windows clock to always display UTC time? Windows does not provide a built-in option to display UTC time alongside local time by default, but by changing the time zone settings or using third-party tools, you can view UTC time on your system.
  2. Does changing the time zone to UTC affect my system clock? Changing the time zone to UTC does not alter your system clock itself but changes how the time is displayed according to the selected time zone.
  3. How do I revert to my local time after showing UTC time? To switch back to your local time, open date and time settings again, enable 'Set time automatically' or manually select your local time zone.
