    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.

    Cortana wrong weather location

    I have done all the things you suggest. The default has been set to my actual home with the map pointing to my house. The home and work address have been set to the same place. The weather app gets it right. But Cortana keeps reporting my lcoation as a town
    in Germany. The Cortana settings show track location history as off and grayed out. But I don’t see where that is set.

    Since the computer does not have gps, it is using ip address location. Aboout the time of the major Windows 10 update to 1709, I also downloaded a 3D printing slicer program with origins in Germany. I’m wondering if the ip address from the download site
    got picked up by Cortana. Or if there is some kind of tracking cookie that shows a German address.
