How to fix windows "Find My" location

Question

My computer shows my device location in Las Vegasl NV, when it's acutally located in Queen Creek, AZ. I have going through all the troubleshooting steps to manage my location, but I can't get it to change. Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Answer 1

Your computer’s location showing Las Vegas, NV instead of Queen Creek, AZ is almost always caused by IP-based geolocation — not your actual device GPS.

On most Windows PCs (without GPS), location is determined by:

• Your public IP address

• Your ISP’s registered location

• Nearby Wi-Fi network data

If your ISP routes traffic through Las Vegas, websites and apps will think you're there.

What you can do:

Restart your modem/router

This may assign a new IP address.

Check your public IP location

Search “What is my IP” in a browser and see what city it shows.

If it still shows Las Vegas

Contact your ISP and ask them to update the geolocation of your IP block.

Make sure no VPN is active

A VPN can also cause incorrect location detection.

Important:

Windows Location Settings will NOT override IP geolocation for most websites and services.

This is not a device problem — it’s almost always an ISP IP registration issue.

If you'd like, tell me:

• Are you on home internet or business internet?

• Does Google Maps also show Las Vegas?

That will confirm it 100%.
