Windows 10: PC reports location in different state

My PC is reporting its location in Salt Lake City, UT. I live in Kansas. This is a problem.


It affects my time zone and location services. I have been unable to force my default location to change.


Any suggestions?

:)

Unable to turn on Location in Windows 10

Hello,

We regret the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

Before we proceed further, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

• 
  Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue? Is it an abrupt issue?
  
• 
  Do have any System Restore point set in Windows prior to the issue?
  
• 
  Did you check if the same issue occurs when you log in to Windows using a different Local Administrator user account?
  

As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow the steps to try and fix the issue:

Step 1:

Follow the steps to change the region:

a) Type “Region” on the Search and click on
Change your country or region option from the search results.

b) Now choose the location from the drop down menu to change the region. (As per your location)

Move to the next step.

Step 2:

I would suggest you to turn On Windows location platform on the computer and check if it helps.

You can follow the steps:

a) Type
location on the Search.

b) Click on
Change Location settings.

c) Check the box which states “Turn ON Windows location platform” and “Help improve Windows Location services”.

e) Click on Apply.

Proceed to the next step.

Step 3:

If you are trying to use location settings for an app, I would suggest you to turn ON the settings to allow apps to use the location on the computer.

Follow the steps:

a) Type
location on the Search.

b) Click on
Location privacy settings.

c) Move the slider towards the right to turn ON settings for ‘Let Windows apps use my location’.

Restart the computer once after making the changes.
