    Setting a fixed location


    I use a VPN and Cortana and the OS thinks I'm somewhere else. Is there anyplace to put a zip code to force the OS to think you're in a specific location?

    :)

    Setting a default location?

    My GPS doesn't work in doors, the AGPS is supposed to take over in doors but it doesn't seem to work, Is it possible to set a default location, say my home address so I can geo tag my photos, get local search results etc

    Bump. Anyone know? My laptop that I did a 'clean' upgrade over win8.1 know where I really am, but the one I thumb drived full clean installed always goes by the VPN.
