Windows 10: Change the GPS permissions of applications in win11 system

The GPS access permissions of individual applications cannot be controlled in the settings interface of the win11 system. I want to allow Unity to read my current location. I clicked all the buttons in Privacy-Location, but Unity still told me that it does not have permission to access the computer's GPS. position.

User: SYSTEM

Application Name: {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

Steps 3 – 11 are needed to change the current ownership of CLSID and APPID from System and TrustedInstaller respectively to Administrators and Administrators

• Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > CLSID > {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}
• Repeat steps 3 through 9 to change ownership of the CLSID from System to Administrators
• After completing the above steps you (as an Administrator) now have the ability to edit the permissions for these two keys
• Open Component Services (Start-search for, or run “dcomcnfg”)
• Browse to Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
• Find "{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}" from the Application Name list – near the bottom, right-click on it and select "Properties"
• Navigate to the "Security" tab and click the "Edit" button in the "Launch and Activation Permissions" section. If the Edit button is grayed out, then review/redo steps 1 – 11.
