  2. On settings in the "Position" I can not turn on location and appears "Some settings are hidden or managed by the organization". How can I fix ? I switched telemetry to "Complete" *Sad

    Thx for the help.

    Thanks for your help, now I give a look ! All this has happened after I have manually installed the Creatives Update :/

    That would be why. You can set those two policies back to "Not Configured" and apply to then be able to set Location Service settings afterwards.

    Double check to see if you may also have any policies set under "User Configuration" (bottom section).

    In addition, see if you may be able to after restarting the computer.

    In that case, see if using step 2 in Option 4 and step 2 in Option 5 from the first page here may at least turn them on for you.

    Turn On or Off Location Services in Windows 10

    Location in Settings -> Privacy would be good for now.

    Let's see if there's anything in the two registry keys below that may be causing this. Export them from Registry Editor as a .reg file, and upload them here. I'll be happy to take a look to see.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies
