The correct solution is to update Java time zone database (hopefully this change is already there).

Step 1: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/tzupdater-download-513681.html

Step 2: Run <path to correct java>\bin\java -jar tzupdater.jar -l -v

I believe this change has not been performed. Because the windows home screen also shows the wrong time.
I will try to adjust by DateTime.SetTimeZone, for now, until I find a better way.
What do you think?

The problem is more serious than I thought.
If I change the time zone from -3 to -2, all database records that are in Long variables are wrong.???

TEMPORARILY RESOLVED.
I changed the time zone from -03: 00 Brasilia to -03: 00 Fortaleza.
-03: 00 Fortaleza has no daylight saving time (DST)
