    My Location is showing incorrectly as Cedar Rapids MI when I'm actually in Portland OR


    Hey There,


    I'm currently experiencing an issue with my PC running Windows 10.


    Whenever I use Bing Maps or Google maps through Edge, Chrome or Firefox, my PC is telling me Im in Cedar Rapids MI when in fact I'm in Portland OR.


    My partners MacBook on the same Wifi network correctly displays our location.


    I have Location turned on in Windows settings and when prompted by Edge, Chrome or Firefox to share my location, I click Allow.


    I have also noted that the windows weather app also shows the incorrect location. It is as if my entire PC shows me in Cedar Rapids.


    When i check whatismyipaddress it shows as Portland OR.


    Can anyone provide any suggestions on how to fix this?


    Thanks

    Daniel

    :)

    Samsung 950 Pro M.2 and rapid mode

    I have to wholeheartedly disagree with your statement as Samsung never had Rapid Mode support for NVMe drives. And I say that as an owner of a Samsung 950 Pro (512GB) NVMe drive - which was one of their first NVMe releases. And Magician never supported it for Rapid Mode.

    Also, the 970 EVO came out at about the same time as the 970 Pro (of which I have two) and Rapid Mode isn't support on those either (Magician 6.1.0, latest version) ....

    Also, from Samsung....

    Also - What is Samsung's SSD Rapid Mode and how do you use it?

    If I'm wrong please provide something contrary to what Samsung is saying. Thanks.

    That looks like RAPID is activated for your 850 Pro to me*Wink
    RAPID can only be activated for one single Samsung SSD on a system.
    So it's only set for the 512GB 850 Pro.
    Open up the Help in Magician and you will see that 950's are not supported for RAPID:

    Samsung 950 Pro M.2 and rapid mode


    NVME is actually supported in version 4.9.7 of Samsung Magician. I know because I have a 950 Pro myself, and also have Rapid Mode enabled....

    Magician version 4.9.7

    Perhaps the OP is using an older version and this their inability to enable Rapid Mode?
