Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
The Web Experience Pack is the engine behind the widgets app, that is just accessing your location to update things like the weather in your local area, that is not an indication of any problem on your system.
You aren't the only one. I don't use any of the widgets either (that I am aware of), but in the last 7 days I have 335 requests from it to know my location.
Hii...But in my case i have them(widgets) disabled then also it is using location services
I also do not have any widgets that would need to know my location. As it is my location shows wrongly anyway and I wouldn't know how to correct it even if I wanted to. So why does the Web Experience pack perpetually request my location?
I'm a few months late to this, but I've had this happening for me lately too, and I was just looking in task manager, and found a program called widgets.exe that was in a folder in my "Program Files\WindowsApps" folder starting with MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience, so I just ended that program in task manager, and it seems to have stopped it using my location, but that program could still be important to have running even if you don't have any widgets, so it might not be a good idea to end it, but it at least worked for me.
