Faking time without changing Windows system clock

datetime testing timezone virtualization clock

Does anybody know of a Windows tool to report fake dates/times to a process?

Apparently there are Linux programs that can be used to test how the software will react in the future / in a different timezone or to trigger scheduled tasks without actually modifying the system clock. Are there such programs for Windows?
