Windows 10: Windows is detecting my and my partner's PC location as China

We've just moved into a new flat and we've both encountered the problem that on all desktop devices, windows is automatically setting time zone to Beijing and then within edge any maps application google maps is detecting location as China. Both region and language is still set to United Kingdom and English, but it still defaults location wise to China.We contacted the internet provider and they couldn't help, and both the primary and secondary ip addresses when searched show as our rough location within the UK. This seems to be a common issue but yet to find a thread actually solving the is

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.

 

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!
