DBeaver uses the time in the computer that is installed, so changing the clock and restarting DBeaver works. But there is a way to do it only for DBeaver instead.

• Go to the DBeaver shortcut. Probably it is here:

  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\DBeaver

• Right-click on it, choose Properties and in the Target box add -vmargs -Duser.timezone=UTC to the end, resulting in something like this:

  "C:\Program Files\DBeaver\dbeaver.exe" -vmargs -Duser.timezone=UTC

• Start DBeaver and the times now appear in UTC.
