Windows 10 Fall Update arrived last week, and there was a lot of discussion about it. Some people were satisfied with the improvements and new features that it brought, while some were angered by a few problems. But, we’re not going to talk whether the update is good or bad here, because we have one interesting new addition to show you. After installingThreshold 2 update, you can now set your time zone to switch automatically, based on your current location.

You probably already noticed that Windows is able to automatically set and change your time, but the ability to automatically change the whole time zone wasn’t included in previous versions of the system. This feature maybe should’ve come earlier, but Microsoft decided to add it now.
