I remember seeing this update on some machines I set up for work and wondering the same. It occurs the first time the clock app is launched, and the “update” is really just pulling the time zone data and setting the clock to what is accurate (internet based world clock), seperate from the bios time it was going off of prior to that. It’s really just looks worse than it is.
New major cities, or smaller ones that weren’t previously listed.
Like in the U.S, major cities are usually actually a dozen or more cities making up a metro area. I distinctly remember in the 2010s a lot of world clocks would only list the name of the metro area and maybe one or two others for a given metro area.
Clock needs an update? To decimal time, or what?
Or did they have to patch it because they managed to build a security hole into the original?
New cities in world clock probably
So why does that need a whole new clock app? That would just be an update to

I was going to ask what major cities have changed names, but we are on the brink of WWIII.
There’s thousands and thousands of them around the world. And other countries are developing faster than the U.S. too.
Developing country or not, major cities don’t just change names without major conflicts anymore.
