My Admin Account will not allow me to change my location.

Question

My Admin Account will not allow me to change my location.

I am logged in as administrator.

I tried adding another administrator and still no luck.

Answer 1

Thank you for that information, if you have run those commands and then restarted your PC to apply the changes, that should have removed that 'Organization' restriction in the location services.

Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\LocationAndSensors

Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.

Hi Dave.

No, it didn't fix my problem. It says Some of these settings are managed by your organisation. However, I am logged in as the Administrator.

Open the Settings App.

Go to Accounts.

Select Access Work or School, is there is a work or school Email listed there?

If there is any work or school account listed there, select it, and disconnect the account, then restart (not shut down) your PC.

If there is no work or school account listed there, use this fix.

Click your Start Button, then just type cmd

On the resulting list, right click Command Prompt and select 'run as Administrator'

Paste each of these commands into Command one at a time and press Enter, wait for each command to complete, before running the next command, if you receive an error on any command, ignore that and continue to the next command.

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost" /f

reg delete "HKCU\Software\Policies" /f

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Policies" /f

Then, close Command Prompt and restart (not shut down) your PC
