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

Documentation says that time variable (@@system_time_zone) is set at server startup and retrieved from the OS (Windows 10 in my case).

Where is this variable set or retrieved on Windows 10?. It's not showing anywhere in the my.ini configuration file nor in any windows system variable!


Other timezone related variables from the server:
