Windows 10: Location Detection Error

My windows 11 pc thinks that I am in Greely CO when I am in CA. I tried turning on location services and set my default location and cleared location history but nothing seems to be working.

Location setting

Hi,



This issue could occur due to incorrect location settings or it would depend on your IP address. We suggest you to check the location settings of your PC, and check if it helps. Here are the steps:

• Click the Start button, and select Settings.
• Go to Privacy, and choose Location.
• Make sure that the Location service is On.

If issue persists, then it has something to do with your IP address. It’s because the location detected depends on the location set on your IP address.



Let us know how it goes.
