Windows 10: showing wrong location of my desktop

my desktop is showing wrong location. how can i correct this

:)

 

Devices Show Wrong Location

I have two laptops and two desktops. ALL devices consistently show the wrong address. It is an old address/location from when I first created a Microsoft account SEVERAL years ago. I've gone through my account multiple times making sure the correct location
is listed. I actually have to disable location sharing on the two laptops because the issue causes problems. Does not matter where the devices are, when I sign into my account, they show as being located at the old address. If location sharing is active, any
program from a specific device will show as being at the old address. One of the laptops and one of the desktops have never even been in that location, I got them after we moved. Searching through past questions here has been no help. Using the Map App on
all of the devices will show the old address if I click to show current location.

 

Windows 10 showing wrong Location (on two machines)

I have seen this question posted in this forums across many years and yet I have not seen (and probably missed) a definitive answer. As with the many previous posts, the issue is that I am (and therefore my Windows computers are) physically located in Florida
but Windows says my location is in England outside of London. What is somewhat interesting is that the address is shows in England is where I used to live (about two years ago and the desktop was there as well). What is equally interesting is that a Windows
tablet I bought here in the US after moving back also shows its location at the same England address. The desktop is actually wired directly to my Comcast router while the tablet has a WiFi connection to the Comcast router.

I was on the phone with Windows support and while the technician was quite nice, he closed the ticket saying that my Comcast IP address what being identified as a UK-based IP address and I needed to have Comcast fix the problem. I strongly doubt this conclusion.

Here are some what I believe symptoms of some underlying problem:

• Google Maps always shows the correct address but Microsoft Maps always shows the wrong address.
• My desktop & tablet both are unable to automatically detect time zone and I have to set my time zone manually (they both are able to auto-sync the correct time)
• Window Night Light feature currently shows Sunset as 11:41am and Sunrise as 5:00am where reality in Florida is 6:07pm and 7:18am, respectively and the reality outside of London is 4:43pm and 7:49am, respectively so I am really confused where Night Light
  gets its values.

I checked some of the web based location sites and most worked correctly but one did not:

• My Location (correct location)
• https://www.iplocation.net/ (correct location)
• My Location - Detect Your Current Location With Accuracy using HTML5 Geolocation (INCORRECT location at the same England address)

Any and all suggestions are welcomed!
