    Cortana location enable slows wifi


    I have a brand new HP laptop with 8gig of ram, and noticed that with cortana location enabled my wifi speeds slow way down especially since the last windows update. Has anyone else noticed this since the latest windows 10 update which was suppose to update cortana?

    :)

    Super slow internet over wifi connection - issue unknown

    "I battled with this for days. Wifi was a snail's pace. After checking all settings and updating drivers, it ended up being as simple as going to notification center on lower right of desktop (or WINDOWS Key + A) and unchecking the LOCATION BUTTON. I
    was shocked that enabling locations for the Cortana feature was the root of the issue."

    wifi geofencing not working

    Hi I'm running the 8.1 Developer Preview on a Nokia 1020. Although I've setup favorite locations in Cortana, and have set WiFi to turn on when I am at one of my favorites, WiFi isn't being turned on in these locations. The geofencing is working because
    I can set reminders that successfully fire when I enter these locations but not the automatic WiFi enabling. Any ideas on what the problem is?

    That's odd. I haven't noticed any wifi speed issues until I installed the latest update. I did see other people having the same issue though on the HP forum. A poster suggested to to off location and once I did that I am getting full 30meg down. With location on, I'm getting 18 to 20 meg down.
