    Maps - Windows location still shows last home address - 3000 km from where I have lived the...


    I see the wrong location has been an ongoing problem in Bing Maps / Windows Maps / Windows location.

    For me it still shows the location where I lived two years ago. I have two stationary computers both used at that location and it still shows this location.


    Since moving to the current location I have done a few clean installs of both computers, updated and flushed bios on the motherboard, changed hd on one of the computers.

    I have also done a few factory resets on the router, and tried connecting to hotspot from my phone (has correct location).


    When using https://whatismyipaddress.com/ it finds my correct address easily.

    Trying change the standard location in maps doesnt really help.


    I have tried most tips I could find here relating to getting the correct location.


    Any new ideas on how to get the correct location?
