Windows 10: Windows 11 PC not showing location accurately web searches, etc.

Just over the past week or so, one of my PCs shows a random location in another state as my location e.g. when looking at weather forecast online. IP address shows the right town/state, other PCs on the same network show location correctly too. Tried to troubleshoot online checked default locations, time settings, timezone settings, etc.I am stumped....HELP. PLEASE. :

:)

 

my pc location is showing the wrong location

I have the same issue. it lists our location at our old house we left 3 months ago.

it's fine using our phones (which have internal GPS), but all our PC's are showing the wrong location.

we have 1 on windows 10 and 1 on windows 11, both are wrong.

they are wrong in edge and chrome.

they are wrong in the weather apps and anything which uses the location.

I have followed the common steps of setting the location, of refreshing dns, or ip, I've changed all entries to location I can find.

even on websites to try to find a local branch, it suggests them near our old house.

Have just spent an hour on the phone with our ISP (EE) who have nothing more to suggest!

Windows 11 Search Bar is not showing Results from Web

My Search bar is showing the Web option but not the results from the web. (I think it works as offline)
I tried using another user profile, there is no such issue on that profile.
