java - jvm default timezone update after operating system timezone changes

I have a jvm running on a windows machine.It displays the current time (including time zone information) using TimeZone.getDefault(). I changed my operating system from Eastern Time (US & Canada) to Central Time (US & Canada) and the time zone the jvm displays does not change accordingly. When I restart the jvm, the time zone of the jvm is updated. Is there a way to get the most recent time zone info from the operating system without restarting the jvm?

Thanks.

As you highlighted by your test, system time zone changes are not taken into account by the JVM at runtime.

This is referenced as a bug and it is still open.
