    How to change the default location in the weather app?


    YAHOOOOO! I got the weather app and a couple of others fixed now!! Try opening up Run(right click windows icon choose Run and type wsreset to reset and clear windows store. Then reopen weather app and it will ask for a default location. I was reading another thread where someone had a problem with Store and jsir7 recommended that and it hit me(I had plumb forgot to try that). So I tried it and it fixed the problem with the weather app & live tile showing the wrong default, fixed the calendar & Email apps live tiles, plus I can now update using store beta.


    ps I'm slowly getting forgetful of the easy fixes, and keep trying the complicated ones first*Redface

    hi I am new to the tenforum.
    even I had the same problem when I shifted to new location.

    now lets solve the problem.

    open the weather app
    click on the favorites on left side of the app
    now right click on launch location
    you will find change location click on it

    now go to launch location
    click on always detect my location .

    it will show you your new location .

    This seems to be a problem since several years. For me it was new and now I tried all recipes I found and nothing worked. The option for entering a new default location always was grayed out.
    Now I found a surprisingly easy solution which worked for me:
    Go to Setting>Apps&Features click on Weather, then “Advance Options” > Reset
    After restarting Weather you can enter a new default location.
    Good luck!
