Hi Marble,

I've worked around this by changing the TimeZoneService.cs

    public List&lt;NameValueDto&gt; GetWindowsTimezones()
    {
        return TZConvert.KnownWindowsTimeZoneIds
            .Where(tz =>TZConvert.TryGetTimeZoneInfo(tz, out var notUsed))
            .OrderBy(tz => TZConvert.GetTimeZoneInfo(tz).BaseUtcOffset)
            .Select(tz => new NameValueDto
            {
                Value = tz,
                Name = TZNames.GetDisplayNameForTimeZone(tz, "en-US")
            }).ToList();
    }
    
    I used a nuget package https://github.com/mj1856/TimeZoneNames to make this work.
    
    It works acceptably for me.  It's not perfect however.
