  2. Unable to turn on Location in Windows 10

    Hello,

    We regret the inconvenience. Let me assist you.

    Before we proceed further, let us know a few more details on the below questions.


    • Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue? Is it an abrupt issue?

    • Do have any System Restore point set in Windows prior to the issue?

    • Did you check if the same issue occurs when you log in to Windows using a different Local Administrator user account?

    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow the steps to try and fix the issue:

    Step 1:

    Follow the steps to change the region:

    a) Type “Region” on the Search and click on
    Change your country or region option from the search results.

    b) Now choose the location from the drop down menu to change the region. (As per your location)

    Move to the next step.

    Step 2:

    I would suggest you to turn On Windows location platform on the computer and check if it helps.

    You can follow the steps:

    a) Type
    location
    on the Search.

    b) Click on
    Change Location settings
    .

    c) Check the box which states “Turn ON Windows location platform” and “Help improve Windows Location services”.

    e) Click on Apply.

    Proceed to the next step.

    Step 3:

    If you are trying to use location settings for an app, I would suggest you to turn ON the settings to allow apps to use the location on the computer.

    Follow the steps:

    a) Type
    l
    ocation on the Search.

    b) Click on
    Location privacy settings
    .

    c) Move the slider towards the right to turn ON settings for ‘Let Windows apps use my location’.

    Restart the computer once after making the changes.

    Write to us with the updated status and the required information related to Location service in Windows, for us to be able to assist you further.

    Thank You.

    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.

    Windows 11 pro Location in Privacy & Security settings is not available to turn on. Why is...

    Diagonistic Data inside Privacy & Security is turned off in Windows 11 maybe by Kaspersky Total Security.

    Your suggestion did not help.

    I installed Kaspersky Total Security (KTS) as an antivirus to my Windows 11 Home operating system (Version 21H2, Build 22000.526) in Beta Channel. But in the ‘Privacy & Security’ under Settings, I find that the Diagnostic data is permanently turned off (screenshot enclosed). It is saying “Your organization prevents sending diagnostic data to Microsoft”. It is also telling to “leave the Windows Insider Programme”. Please see the screenshot carefully and you will find everything in ‘Privacy & Security’ is turned off/greyed out. I don’t know what to do. Please suggest ways so that the Diagnostic Data is turned on , Inking & Typing is also turned on. Please see the screenshot carefully. The issue still persists even after exiting Kaspersky from the system tray as advised by you. Screenshot is once again enclosed for your doing the needful. It is saying your organization prevents sending diagnostic data to Microsoft.

    Kaspersky people are saying that Microsoft preventing Kaspersky to have full access to my computer. It maybe because of Microsoft recent update with their Security and Privacy. Kapersky is also saying there should be an option to "Allow a third party application".

    How to allow third party application in my pc? Please narrate step by step. Why there will be unfaithfulness an suspicion between Kaspersky and Microsoft - both renowned and loyal companies?
