Windows 10: Geolocation Issues

I moved from Pennsylvania to New York 2 months ago. Geolocation is incorrect in Weather app, Maps app, Firefox desktop on Windows 10, it gives off my OLD address. Random sites that ask for location that is.

Clean Windows 10 Install Clean Firefox Install Not behind VPN Different ISP in NY than in PA Geolocation is accurate in Safari iPhone on the same WiFi network

I used Firefox account password reset, even that email gave the correct info: Firefox on Windows 10 My Town, NY, United States (estimated)

Testing https://browserleaks.com/geo (shows my old Pennsylvania town) https://whatismyipaddress.com/ (shows correct NY current location) Google = shows correct NY current location Home Depot = shows old PA town Maxmind = shows correct NY current location IP2location = shows correct NY current location

Firefox Options / Privacy & Security / Saved Addresses = EMPTY

The baffling thing is Windows 10 weather app and maps app does the same thing, shows old PA town. Others complain of the same bug in Window 10 too.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
