Windows 10: Windows location setting incorrect.

I am experiencing this issue with both my home computer running Windows 11 and my work laptop running windows 10. I first noticed it because the system time for both computers was changing automatically to central European time. If I disable location services the clocks can be adjusted to the right timezone and stay that way. If location services are enabled the clocks revert back to central European time whenever they go to sleep or the lock screen comes up.I used the Windows Map App to check the computer's location and on both computers it puts my location as northern Switzerland when I'm re

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.
