    Find My Device isn't Working


    Everything is set up correctly: find my device is on, location services and location is on, Maps apps can find my location as well as google chrome. However, account.microsoft.com/devices shows an error "We can't find your device" and tells me that last location was from 5/13/17 (3 months ago)
    I did not play with any options that'd disable this setting, so I don't know why it can't find me. I tried:
    updating windows (currently up-to-date)
    restarting
    shutting down-turning on
    turning off each setting and turning on again

    Nothing worked so far.
    Thanks in advance

    :)
