  1. Windows Maps ignores default location and shows I'm currently at my old address that is 150...


    I have read a million useless articles at this point telling me to verify all of my location services and permissions being enabled between devices and I have done that in addition to talking to my ISP about the IP address. I've cleared my Location data. I've tried everything. All I know is when I try to "Find my device" the one I'm currently on it shows it is 150 miles away. Maps does the same thing. Can anyone help me?

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Incorrect Location in Maps, Weather Apps

    I moved from Pennsylvania to New York 2 months ago. Geolocation is incorrect in Weather app, Maps app, Firefox desktop on Windows 10, it gives off my OLD address. Random sites that ask for location that is.

    Clean Windows 10 Install
    Clean Firefox Install
    Not behind VPN
    Different ISP in NY than in PA
    Geolocation is accurate in Safari iPhone on the same WiFi network

    I used Firefox forums account password reset, even that email gave the correct info: Firefox on Windows 10 My Town, NY, United States (estimated)

    Testing
    HTML5 Geolocation API Test, Reverse Geocoding, Web Browser Geolocation API Demo - BrowserLeaks (shows my old Pennsylvania town)
    What Is My IP Address - See Your Public Address - IPv4 & IPv6 (shows correct NY current location)
    Google = shows correct NY current location
    Home Depot = shows old PA town
    Maxmind = shows correct NY current location
    IP2location = shows correct NY current location

    Firefox Options / Privacy & Security / Saved Addresses = EMPTY

    The baffling thing is Windows 10 weather app and maps app does the same thing, shows old PA town. Others complain of the same bug in Window 10 too.

    I replicated this issue on both logged into MS account and local account on my laptop. Replicated on LTE also, in Firefox, Edge, Windows 10 apps.

    Look at the attached images. Even on my MS account, their own find pc tool is broken. Pathetic.

    Devices Show Wrong Location

    I have two laptops and two desktops. ALL devices consistently show the wrong address. It is an old address/location from when I first created a Microsoft account SEVERAL years ago. I've gone through my account multiple times making sure the correct location
    is listed. I actually have to disable location sharing on the two laptops because the issue causes problems. Does not matter where the devices are, when I sign into my account, they show as being located at the old address. If location sharing is active, any
    program from a specific device will show as being at the old address. One of the laptops and one of the desktops have never even been in that location, I got them after we moved. Searching through past questions here has been no help. Using the Map App on
    all of the devices will show the old address if I click to show current location.
