system_time_zone

[Benoit St-Jean]

My server seems to have garbage stored in the system_time_zone variable.

It's currently set at "Est (Heure d'été)' and causes all kinds of problems.

I'm on Windows 10 and using MySql 5.7.11

Where is this variable set or retrieved. It's not showing anywhere in the my.ini configuration file nor in any windows system variable!

Other timezone related variables:
