Windows 10: MS Maps is showing the wrong location

Hello,


For some reason my location in MS Maps thinks I'm in Illinois. It keeps on changing my time zone on my laptop to central even though I live in the eastern time zone. My IP address is even registered on the east coast. What could be causing this issue?


Thank you,


Shawn

here maps and google map in explorer 11 and edge showing wrong location yet firefox shows right location

I m using a HP Desktop and a HP laptop both on the same wifi both running windows 10 Po and activated

if I use the weather app and the map app on my desktop it shows wrong location when I use google maps in edge or explorer the same wrong location by around 10 miles

so I open Firefox use google maps and see there shows my right location within 80 meters so it has something to do with MS software as the wrong location is showing when it uses MS software .....That's the case on the Laptop

As for the Desktop no problems at all showing correct location within 50 meters but the desktop hasn't been moved in 2 years

where as the laptop always on the move

so took the laptop to work different location

and guess what same problem using the MS software

opened firefox and google maps and once again showed correct location within 80 meters

Please MS this is an Issue I have reported for months now find out how firefox browser plus google maps get it right but mircosoft edge, IE11,MAPS AND WEATHER APP CANT !!!!!!
