    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 10 maps has my location wrong

    Hi,

    In order for the map to work again on your Windows 10 device, you need to make sure that the Location is turned on. Here are the steps:

    • Open Settings.
    • Go to Privacy and then Location.
    • Turn Location on.
    • Scroll it down, make sure Maps is turn on under Choose apps which can use your location.

    Let us know how it goes.
