Location service is greyed out

Hi Shahriar,

Thank you for responding.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you, I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check If it helps.

Step 1: Steps to turn on the Location settings.

• Login as an administrator.
• Press Windows key, type Location settings and select
  Change location settings.
• Check whether Location for this device is On by clicking on
  Change.
• Also turn on Location as well.

Step 2: And as you are unable to set the service Geolocation service to automatic, I suggest you to run SFC scan and check.

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• 
  Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.
  

Try to set the service to automatic by following the steps provided in the above post by Praveen Venugopal.

Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.

 

Major assignment disappeared

So I have my major assignment for the year due tomorrow. I had my friend email me a copy of my copy of the word doc from school (at home today working on it).

Opened it from the attachment (Windows Live Mail) and wrote ~2000 words extra on it, saving every few minutes. However, I forgot to change the save location after I opened it from the email.

So I have no idea where it saved to, IF it saved at all (little loading bar down the bottom of Word said it was saving) or how to recover it. Opening the attachment from the email again unsuprisingly opens back up the original copy.

I did a search for all .doc files and that turned up nothing. Anybody know the location where attachments get saved to using Windows Live Mail?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Jmatt
