Thank you but impracticable because this is also to be a service included into a Market EA. In the home page there is an anchor link that leads to a less offuscated page with local time:
https://www.worldtimeserver.com/time.aspx
though webrequest find <span id="theTime" class="fontTS">
and there is your local time from an external source
Hello,
My local time is frequently trashed by Windows 10 on Windows Update survey, so local time gets unreliable to the point I need popular web page like worldtimeserver.com to set it right, Have you heard about a module able to grab Local Time from this page through MQL , because it is well offuscated ?

The question is why is that needed, seems weird to me. How will you know the timezone ? If the local time is unreliable, the timezone could also be wrong. Fix the problem seems more reasonable than work around it.
The problem has been recurrent for years. If the EA uses MT local time to set working hours and it is false than anything happen. The user in GMT+1 enters 15h30 local time for the US session open which timeME zone is known by the EA while it don't een need to, it just needs an accurate local time to open trades at the right time according to user input.
The problem might happen in any PC, local time depends on users setting and bugs . That is why external reliable local time is needed by EAs.

The time zone has nothing to do with it why should it? unless it means local time zone, the problem it is getting smashed all too often, by who knows what
