  1. Action centre and location


    Hi
    I have noticed like a few others doing a search on the internet that since the Creative update for Windows 10 HOME, the location service Icon will continue to run once you open action centre.... providing you do not open action centre then the icon will come and go as it should, not stay on all the time..
    Is this a known issue with the Creative update and can it be fixed?

    You can turn it off in Start > Settings > Privacy > Location

    Its used for services like Maps, Nightlight and Weather.

    Action centre and location service

    Not causing any issues, but rather than just come and go like prior to the CU update once you open action centre it stays on... quite a few have reported this...

    I think it is a notification issue rather than the location service is actually running.... This is from task manager after the icon has shown for about an hour.. as you can see using nothing

  5. Yep. As the OP says, it happens to me too. It will come and go until the action center is open. Then it stays in the task bar until the shutdown/reboot.

  6. That's the one.... works perfect until you open action centre then stays on all the time... I did look in task manager and mine did not seem to be using anything so I am not sure if it is just an issue with the icon rather than the location service... will check again tonight *Smile

    It has been mentioned on the feedback hub...

    That was the post I found and logged it myself on the feedback hub...

    Looking in task manager the icon is on at the moment but it does not seem to be using much so maybe it is an icon issue and the location service is not actually running... This is mine now...

  8. Both myself and another member have both noticed that if you install the latest cumulative update, KB4020102 this seems to fix this issue... The location icon comes and goes as always, but does not appear at all if you open action centre *Smile

    That wasn't the issue. Turning it off there only means it won't show on the task bar, but it will be in the hidden icons. The issue is under normal use the icon would come and go, but if you opened the Action Center it stayed until reboot. Now even opening the Action Center, it still comes and goes like normal.

    The only one I haven't found a switch for is Project. This is on a Desktop that will never connect to a projector like the possibility to do so will be with my Notebooks.
