- Cumulative time zone updates contain only data that has
changed for a specific region or that was added to maintain parity with
other operating system versions. Therefore, if a time zone key has been
deleted, some original values may not be restored after you apply the
cumulative zone update.
We do not recommend that you delete any registry keys that are related to time zones. On a computer that has incomplete time zone keys, first restore the time zone keys from a known good backup. Then, apply the update.
