It's not worth my using the nuclear option I guess. This is a desk PC, not a laptop, so it's not changing location any time soon. And I don't have location settings on.
I don't use Bing maps, And seldom any map for that matter, on this PC.
I would, on principle, like to be able to kill this zombie. Failing that I'll use the redirect option to stick it in an unused location on C: which only holds Windows and programmes folders, so I won't see the thing.
It's an annoyance, not a problem.
