    Do I have access to more/different things if I have it set to US?

    What are the differences (no matter how little) between the two. (Or even a different country altogether).

    I realize this question isn't about Windows per se, but I'm not sure where else to ask.

  3. IP address location wrong country

    My browser shows that I'm in Canada and reroutes all my sites through Canada even though I'm in Michigan. My settings in Chrome show I'm in the US. Despite that, all my sites, such as AOL and Amazon, locate me in Canada. It also registers I'm in Canada
    on other browsers, such as Explorer and Safari. The problem is on this computer both in my office and at home when I bring it home. I've rebooted by router with no improvement. I've gone into Settings on Chrome and the Control Panel in Windows to make sure
    it says I'm in the USA, which it does. I've spoken to AT&T, my service provider, which was no help. Any suggestions??

    Location setting

    Hi,



    This issue could occur due to incorrect location settings or it would depend on your IP address. We suggest you to check the location settings of your PC, and check if it helps. Here are the steps:

    • Click the Start button, and select Settings.
    • Go to Privacy, and choose Location.
    • Make sure that the Location service is On.


    If issue persists, then it has something to do with your IP address. It’s because the location detected depends on the location set on your IP address.



    Let us know how it goes.
