    Hi Mark,

    This is Vijaikumar, an Individual contributor in Microsoft community network. I hope to help you today.

    Please mention which Browser you are using.

    I understand how frustrating that can be! Let’s fix your location settings on Windows 10. Here are the steps to set your default location:

    Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and then the gear icon to open Settings.

    Go to Privacy: In the Settings window, select “Privacy.”

    Select Location: On the left sidebar, click on “Location.”

    Set Default Location: Scroll down to the “Default location” section and click on “Set default.”

    Choose Your Location: The Maps app will open. You can type in your address or select your location on the map. Once done, click “Set.”

    This should help ensure your computer uses the correct location. If you continue to experience issues, you might want to check if any VPNs or location-altering software are running, as they can affect your location settings.

    Let me know if you need more detailed instructions on any of these steps. I'll be here to assist you further.
