Devices Show Wrong Location

I have two laptops and two desktops. ALL devices consistently show the wrong address. It is an old address/location from when I first created a Microsoft account SEVERAL years ago. I've gone through my account multiple times making sure the correct location
is listed. I actually have to disable location sharing on the two laptops because the issue causes problems. Does not matter where the devices are, when I sign into my account, they show as being located at the old address. If location sharing is active, any
program from a specific device will show as being at the old address. One of the laptops and one of the desktops have never even been in that location, I got them after we moved. Searching through past questions here has been no help. Using the Map App on
all of the devices will show the old address if I click to show current location.

 

device location

Hi Rosdan,

We need more information regarding your concern. Which device are you pertaining to? Are you talking about the
Find my device feature of your Microsoft account? Are you talking about the location settings of your device? If you are using a desktop computer with no Wi-Fi capability, your location will be based on your IP address. Because of that, the
results can widely vary in accuracy, resulting in an incorrect location for your device. You can set your address as your default location in the Maps app so that Windows, apps, and services can use it when the system could not detect a more exact location
of your device. To do so, kindly follow these steps:

• Launch the Maps app.
• Click on
  
  , then click on
  Settings.
• Under Default location, click on Change default location.
• Click on Set default location, type in your current location, then click on
  Choose location.
• Click on Set.

Kindly get back to us with the information that we asked for so that we can assist you better with your concern.

We look forward to your response.
