  1. Windows 11 wrong location when my I.P. is correct


    I recently went to Google and found it showed my location as Washington I'm in Australia. I checked all my Google settings and they were the same as before. Then I found my phone was correct but if I used my laptop it would temporarily sync the wrong local and then shift back. I then found Windows Maps was doing the same. I checked all regional/language settings and they were correct. I then checked my I.P. address online 3 sites and they all said my I.P was correct. However, to make sure I reset my laptop and my router and yet the problem persists. Please help.

    :)

  2. 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!

    Again, Location is not correct on the maps, Showing me in another state!

    Hi Wael,

    Wrong region settings or corruption may be the possible reason why a location was not correct or showing a different state. To assist you better, we'd like to gather more information:

    • Have you made any recent changes prior to this issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages when you tried to change it to the default location?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far aside from making sure that region settings was correct?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    to troubleshoot Cortana. You may expand each section and try performing the instructions that you have not yet done.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Correct Directory Location For Pictures Folder

    "Now Documents, Videos etc say file location is This PC. But Pictures file location is C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures."

    If we understand you correctly, the issue is that Pictures doesn't appear in the left panel under This PC. The correct location IS C:\Users\PeteyBoPetey\Pictures. This is only an issue of using Step 8 in the tutorial to add it back to the list. See if this screenshot is what you want to achieve- put Pictures folder back in list on L.
