In the month of May 2023, our internal Customer Support team reported an error, which was affecting Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Israel for events that were scheduled for March 2024 and onwards. This was resulting in the meeting times in Israel being off by one hour. On further investigation, it was realized that it was happening due to a missing registry in one of the internal systems.  

To ensure that this issue is proactively resolved, Microsoft will release the following Windows updates. This change is available in the August 2023 Cumulative Update preview released on August 22, 2023, for the 20H2 and the newer versions of Windows 10 and 11. All other supported Windows versions will receive the update as part of the September 2023 monthly quality update scheduled to release on September 12, 2023.

All Windows updates containing this fix have the following release note text:

• Update for Israel DST Changes
