What time were you expecting, what time was printed, what timezone are
you in, which version of fio and which version of Windows? I've just
done a quick run with fio-2.99 Windows 2012 R2 and found the time fio
prints on Windows appears to be UTC.
The Windows code that constructs the string is ctime_r in
os/windows/posix.h
(https://github.com/axboe/fio/blob/fio-2.99/os/windows/posix.c#L239 ).
If you wanted to print timezone information at a guess this would
involve getting and parsing GetTimeZoneInformation
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724421(v=vs.85).aspx
) and ensuring the time you retrieved was the local system one.
