ewf and daylight saving time

[Gianluca Facca]

I noticed that if my pc embbedd is off during change of daylight saving
time,
each time I restart it, the time is updated.
It don't happen any more if I execute commit command.

Is it a bug or I have to add any Key in registry?

Hi Gianluca,

It don't happen any more if I execute commit command.
Is it a bug or I have to add any Key in registry?

This is "expected" behavior and there are few different workarounds to this problem, but unfortunately it is not as simple as
setting some registry entry.

One solution is to disable daylighsaving and make all application that show and use time to use system time instead of local time
and then when you present time to user you can use API functions to calculate current local time.

Other solution is to detect time change and to reboot computer after committing EWF.
