    Location setting

    Hi,



    This issue could occur due to incorrect location settings or it would depend on your IP address. We suggest you to check the location settings of your PC, and check if it helps. Here are the steps:

    • Click the Start button, and select Settings.
    • Go to Privacy, and choose Location.
    • Make sure that the Location service is On.


    If issue persists, then it has something to do with your IP address. It’s because the location detected depends on the location set on your IP address.



    Let us know how it goes.

    my pc location is showing the wrong location

    I have the same issue. it lists our location at our old house we left 3 months ago.

    it's fine using our phones (which have internal GPS), but all our PC's are showing the wrong location.

    we have 1 on windows 10 and 1 on windows 11, both are wrong.

    they are wrong in edge and chrome.

    they are wrong in the weather apps and anything which uses the location.

    I have followed the common steps of setting the location, of refreshing dns, or ip, I've changed all entries to location I can find.

    even on websites to try to find a local branch, it suggests them near our old house.

    Have just spent an hour on the phone with our ISP (EE) who have nothing more to suggest!

    old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,
