  1. Enabled Find My Device option in settings, but it's showing location disabled in the microsoft


    I've encountered an issue with the "Find My Device" feature on my Microsoft account. Despite enabling the "Find My Device" option in the settings and ensuring that the location services are also activated, the system still shows that the location is disabled. This inconsistency is preventing me from using the device tracking functionality, which is essential for locating my device if it gets lost or stolen. I've double-checked the settings multiple times to confirm that both features are turned on, but the problem persists. Interestingly, my second laptop, which is connected with the same Micr

  2. Re-enable audio device

    Hi,

    I would be happy to assist you.

    Before we proceed with troubleshooting, I would need little information on the issue.

    • Are using speakers / head phones to listen to audio?
    If you have disabled the audio device, then you might not see it under the list of playback devices. I would suggest you to follow these steps to make sure you see the disabled devices:


      • Open
        Control panel
        .

      • Click Hardware and Sound and then Click on
        Sounds.

      • Under Playback tab, right click on the empty area and make sure
        “Show Disabled Devices” has a check mark on it. If headphones/Speakers are disabled, it will now show up in the list.

      • Right click on the device and
        Enable it. Click OK.
    If the issue still persists, try enabling speakers automatically using steps below.


    • Go to Settings> Click on themes> Advance sound settings> right click on the speakers or the audio device youo have connected > click on
      Configure device.

    • Test the sound level you want, click Next.

    • And configure the audio devices.

    Hope this helps you. Do reply if you need further assistance on Windows 10.

    Thank you.

  3. Location disabled in Microsoft account

    Yes, same here. All my Windows devices are listed as "Location disabled" but on all of them locations are enabled.

    I'm not sure if this features works at all.

    I am having the same issue here! ALL of my devices have locations enabled, and yet ALL of my devices show "Location disabled." I read through all of the documentation, and followed all instructions - still no luck! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Unable to turn on the Location from the Location Settings.

    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
    Hardware and Device Troubleshooter
    and check if there's any changes. To run the
    troubleshooter, follow these steps:


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

    • Choose
      Hardware and Sound.

    • Click on the
      Hardware and Devices
      to run the
      Troubleshooter.

    If the issue
    persists, we suggest that you contact your
    computer/laptop's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.
