1. Which browser are you using to download the apps?

Windows Location Platform

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are unable to use Windows Location through Google Chrome browser, where as it is working fine with Microsoft Edge browser. This could be a design limitation from the apps (Google Chrome/Firefox) perspective.



However, we would suggest you perform these steps and check if that works.



Google Chrome settings.

1. Open Google Chrome browser and click the 3 dots on the top right corner.
   
2. Select settings from the drop down, scroll down and click on Advanced.
   
3. Click on Content settings and no select Location from the list.
   
4. Toggle the switch beside Ask before accessing (recommended) and turn it on.

Regards,
