    location says Im in a different state.


    If I go to the maps for windows 10 it says that im in California when im actually in Michigan. It makes the time be 3 hours behind because it forces the time zone to be pacific rather than eastern, due to my location saying that im in California. Ive spent more than 10 hours trying to figure this out.

    Again, Location is not correct on the maps, Showing me in another state!

    Hi Wael,

    Wrong region settings or corruption may be the possible reason why a location was not correct or showing a different state. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages when you tried to change it to the default location?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from making sure that region settings was correct?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article     to troubleshoot Cortana. You may expand each section and try performing the instructions that you have not yet done.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    location says Im in a different state.

    Cortana says need to access location

    Ok I checked and my Country region is set to United States, use location is on. Cortana still says it needs permission to use location and is not listed in "apps that can use your location".
