Windows 10: I have incorrect location when using edge and maps.

Since I see similar posts on reddit that they experience the issue I had, there are problems regarding how Windows get its location from ISP. I have already talked to the ISP, and they said they are not causing the issue. I also asked a support agent about it and somehow, they didn't resolve the issue. Others have pointed out that it is recurring, and their time zone was automatically changed due to location changes, so I assume this is probably an issue with Windows. I don't know how it got triggered but it just happened without a warning. If it is a bug that is known, I would like to know if

Incorrect Location in Maps, Weather Apps

Did you try turning off your Location feature and reboot then try to reset it? Looks like nothing over at Incorrect Location in Maps, Weather Apps | Windows 10 Forums was definitive.

 

Incorrect Location in Maps, Weather Apps

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

Testing
HTML5 Geolocation API Test, Reverse Geocoding, Web Browser Geolocation API Demo - BrowserLeaks (shows my old Pennsylvania town)
What Is My IP Address - See Your Public Address - IPv4 & IPv6 (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.

I replicated this issue on both logged into MS account and local account on my laptop. Replicated on LTE also, in Firefox, Edge, Windows 10 apps.

Look at the attached images. Even on my MS account, their own find pc tool is broken. Pathetic.

 

Incorrect Location in Maps, Weather Apps

The phone, even on the same WiFi network, will use its GPS to pick up the location.
Is Google Maps correct?
I find that Google Maps is correct, but the Windows Maps app is incorrect, when I am at home.

You can set a default location from that settings page, which is stored in the AppData Folder. That might follow your login.
