Virtual Machines created from disk image have wrong time zone

Hello,

I have a virtual machine that I created and setup exactly how I want it.  It has the correct time zone and other Windows settings are too.  Then I sysprep the image, capture it to make a disk in Azure.  Then, I can create new virtual machines from the disk.  The problem is that the newly created virtual machines always have the wrong time zone.  I am in the Pacific time zone.  The new vm's are in UTC Coordinated Standard.  Is there a way to make it so the time zone is correct automatically in the new vm's?

The other things that change that I do not like are the Windows Update settings change back to default (Automatic install).

Any recommendations or thought are appreciated.  Thank you.
