    i just did a clean installation of windows 11.
    this has started since 2 weeks ago. i manually set the location using my zip code and this has worked for me. but 1-2 weeks ago it started acting up. i can set it manually but after i open a new tab or close the browser it shows different location.
    in the weather page i can see 2 locations
    home thats the one i did manually and the other its by IP address i guess. how do i remove the one with GPS sign and keep only the home sign.?

    did ya check it in your bios cause that can usually effect your time on it as well but is it really a worry though

    yes time is correct.
    last night i set it manually by zip code after clean installation. today its still showing my location.. so it seems that updating edge will make it show by ip adress.
    ill try to update and see if it changes location.

    @raptorddd Yes, it's hard to guess, there can be many reasons.

    right.
    i do know what ive done differently lately..
    updated windows optimizer app has disable telemetry and remove bing it could be that..
    also disabled some services but instead of using adinistrator used trust installer.
    also use slim10 edited and added new tweaks . i know wich ones i used.,
    need to use virtual machine and learn how to use wifi in it.. also learn to bypass w11 requirement to install.
