Registry keys for automatic time and time zones

Windows 10.

I would like to know the registry keys responsible for "Set time automatically" and "Set time zone automatically" in Settings > Time and Language so I can modify them using the command line.

I also found how how to do this using a tool called Process Monitor. I followed instructions at this web page: http://www.howtogeek.com/school/sysinternals-pro/lesson5/all/

The values for the "Start" DWord are backwards. 3="Automatically Set Time Zone" and 4="Manually Set Time Zone" (at least as of Windows 10 v1703; just confirmed on several PCs) – Ruscal – 2017-06-29T13:39:50.970
