Wrong Location.

Question

Since upgrading to Windows 11 my laptop now thinks it is in Toronto. Whenever I access anything I get prices, etc in Canadian Dollars and some US websites won't load.

I have checked all the settings for time zone and region and it is all correct.

How can I convince Windows 11 that I am in New Mexico?

Answer 1

I tried the hotspot and it seemed to solve the problem - I was able to access sites that were rejecting the connection.

When I went to restore the connection to my ISP I noticed there were two with the same name. I connected with the one that I hadn't been using previously and was able to access the pages. I deleted the second connection since that seems now to have been the problem.

Thanks for you help!!

Edit:

I am now being rejected again: This is the error returned by the page:

Error 1005 Ray ID: 6d2b3e6b0c6353f5 • 2022-01-24 18:14:51 UTCAccess denied

What happened?

The owner of this website (capitaloneshopping.com) has banned the autonomous system number (ASN) your IP address is in (14061) from accessing this website.

Answer 2

Thanks, Tim. If you temporarily use Mobile Hotspot, does the issue persist? It helps us isolating if the ISP is at fault.

Answer 3

I tried these steps and when I attempted to log into Amazon it wanted me to confirm the login attempt from Ontario. Canada. I am still in Albuquerque, NM.

I turned location services off completely and still got the prompt to log in from Canada.

Answer 4

Hi Tim,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Please make sure location is set correctly on these pages:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/feed/personalize?ocid...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/settings

Also, turn off Location once in Settings>Privacy>Location. Turn on the same again.

Clear location and then set the location manually using the Set Default button.

Keep us posted and good luck!
