How to set Time zone permanently in Amazon Workspace?

I have an amazon workspace windows instance (Server 2016).

I want to set the time zone to Eastern Standard Time. I want that the time zone must remain unchanged after restarting the workspace or logging into the workspace via AWS client.

For this reason, I have seen the documentation of the AWS workspace and disabled the time zone redirection by using the group policy management tool. I have seen the documentation from the given link. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/workspaces/latest/adminguide/group_policy.html#gp_time_zone

Now, the time zone of the workspace is fixed to Central Time (US and Canada). I can change it to Eastern Standard Time but the change does not permanent. When I log in to this workspace or restart it go back to Central Time (US and Canada).

Thanks in advance.

[edited] The screenshot of the setting are given below-

The AWS Workspace is a plugin and play so you need to set the local time in your physical machine i,e outside the workspace as you want in the workspace and restart both aws and local machine.

Make sure you follow all the steps provided in the documentation.

To allow the user to override your setting, choose Overridable Administrator Defaults; otherwise, choose Not Overridable Administrator Defaults.
