Howdy,
Thanks to Brink for his good tutorial on how to disable location service here:
Location Service - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Settings > Home > Taskbar > Turn system icons on or off > Location is ON.
I also want to turn it off via registry only.
Any idea on which key will do it?
Thank for help :)
Didn't Brink cover the registry keys in option 4?

Sorry but I posted the Bink's tutorial link myself, how could I didn't see the option 4 ?!
Option 4 only turns off the service from registry! Not system tray icon!
I want to turn Location system icon OFF!!!
Thanks :)
Yes, I already disabled service, but as you can see in the screen shot, the button is ON.
This button is connected to a registry key, I wanna that key :)
Thanks again...
Yes I lost my hands in an accident and cant turn it off via settings :)
So I collect all my customizations in a single .reg file and with each win clean install i apply my settings with a single reg file run!
I'll ask it somewhere else, thanks for your helpful answers :)
Did you ever discover the answer to this?
I'm finally being forced to do Windows 10 imaging.
Like Windows 7, the following post shows you how disable some of the icons in Windows 10, but not Location, Touch Keyboard, Windows Ink Workspace or Touchpad

What I want to know is how do you hide the icon in the system tray? I want the service to run but don't want two alarm the user that the location is turned on. I can find it in the menu systems in Windows 10, but I don't know how to change it in the registry. The icon seems like it started showing up in 20H2 latest update OS Build 19042.1165.
