Description

Describe the work Tend to get a few issues with Time Zone changes. Need a way to validate the client end to make sure that the registry settings are set correctly as that will cause issues.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing scripts in the repository (e.g., under Scripts/) for coding patterns and structure. Identify the specific registry keys related to Windows time zone settings (e.g., HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation). The script should validate that the client's time zone matches expected values. Consider asking maintainers for clarification on expected output format and which registry entries to check. Reference issue #1672 and the repository's contribution guidelines.
