    Is my wrong location a Windows 10 or Google problem?


    Not anymore. There's a "new way" in town. The location service/API overrides the IP if one has "Share location" turned on in the system and/or in individual Apps within the Settings app. MS also shares this information if one allows it. However, it can be turned off in one's MS account.
