Location unavailable in Edge Version 115.0.1901.188

Question

With the 7/27/2023 Microsoft Edge update to Version 115.0.1901.188 (Official build) (64-bit), location services are unavailable. Location services are enabled, and site permissions granted. Location works on other browsers.

Reproduce on Microsoft Edge:

Open Google Maps > allow location for the site > request precise location > notice that precise location cannot be determined.

The same issue happened in early June, see the following two issues:

Answer 1

Hi @Amanda K, 

After confirming on my side, it works fine.

The issue has been fixed on Edge version 114, but there may be some regression on version 115.

Please follow the steps described at Find & improve your location’s accuracy - Computer - Google Maps Help, and check if it works.

Thanks for your understanding.
