Windows 10: Device location problem

I Live in Pueblo Colorado and my device location says palm beach Fl, some times

:)

 

Locate device

Hello,

Are these the steps you're doing when trying to locate your device?

• Go to
  account.microsoft.com/devices. If you're asked to sign in, use the same Microsoft account you used to sign in to the lost device.
• Choose your device from the list, then select Find my device.
• You'll see a map with a highlighted location. However, this may not be your device's current location. When a Microsoft device is turned on, we periodically save your device location, so check the
  Last seen at timestamp.
• In the meantime, we'll automatically start a new search. Wait a bit and the new device location should appear.

You can also have the option of locking the device to render it useless unless that the person knows your credentials. Here's how:

• When you find your device on the map, select Lock > Next.
• Type a lock-screen message for anyone who finds your device to see.
• Select Lock. Note that anyone who finds your locked device can't sign in unless they are an admin for a Microsoft account already on the device.

Reset your password
Once your device is locked, you should reset your password for added security. Select
Reset password and follow the instructions.

I'll be waiting for your updates.

 

Location service is greyed out

Hi Shahriar,

Thank you for responding.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you, I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check If it helps.

Step 1: Steps to turn on the Location settings.

• Login as an administrator.
• Press Windows key, type Location settings and select
  Change location settings.
• Check whether Location for this device is On by clicking on
  Change.
• Also turn on Location as well.

Step 2: And as you are unable to set the service Geolocation service to automatic, I suggest you to run SFC scan and check.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
  

Try to set the service to automatic by following the steps provided in the above post by Praveen Venugopal.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

Hi Rafiul,

It is possible that the
GPS chipset
is not working properly causing your location settings to be
disabled or cannot be turned on. Kindly run the

troubleshooter, follow these steps:

• 
  On the search bar, type
  Troubleshooting
  and hit
  Enter.

computer/laptop's manufacturer
for further assistance.
