If the adapter is enabled and wifi disconnected it will revert to Brussels.Is there a database that Microsoft keeps somewhere with WIFI SSID's and their location and, how do we get this updated to correct the location.

This issue can be due to an Incorrect setting on the service.

To check these try these steps:

services.msc.

2. Check for the Network Location Awareness service and check the Startup type and if the status of the service.

Also check the TimeZone setting on the Setting menu.

• Click Time and Language in the Settings Window.
• Click Date & Time and check the TimeZone selected.

Thank you.

 

Location setting

Hi,



This issue could occur due to incorrect location settings or it would depend on your IP address. We suggest you to check the location settings of your PC, and check if it helps. Here are the steps:

• Click the Start button, and select Settings.
• Go to Privacy, and choose Location.
• Make sure that the Location service is On.

If issue persists, then it has something to do with your IP address. It’s because the location detected depends on the location set on your IP address.



Let us know how it goes.
