Windows GPS location completely wrong, grabbing my previous address?
Hey guys,
I'm having the strangest issue I've ever encountered with Windows, or any piece of technology. I'm very tech savvy but am completely stuck with this and am thinking of doing a format and fresh install. Before I do that, anyone have any idea what is happening?
I have a brand new computer which I just built here in Colorado. I just moved here from Nashville a month ago and brought my older desktop with me, also running Windows 10 (no issues on that desktop at all). The new computer is automatically detecting Central time instead of Mountain time, so I went into Windows Maps to see what location the GPS is grabbing and it points to exactly where my old apartment is in Nashville! So strange! Weather app also thinks I'm in Nashville. If I go to Google Chrome and use GPS location in Google Maps, it finds my correct location. If I use Edge to do the same thing in Google Maps, it goes to Nashville. So Chrome is grabbing the correct GPS but for some reason Windows and MS apps are not. I have NO idea how my old address is remotely connected to the new computer. I built it here in Colorado. It is not signed into a MS account, rather a local admin account. The only relationship is that both computers are on the same local network, but my old computer that was actually in Nashville doesn't have this problem and correctly gets the GPS location.
I tried toggling location/location service on and off, I enabled General location. I have Default location set to my city in Colorado. I tried clearing Location history. I also tried connecting to my phone's hotspot which didn't change anything.
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Is my new computer haunted? lol
