How To Set Up Or Change Location On Windows 10 by Venzee(m): 7:35pm On Mar 10, 2021
When you run an app in Windows 10, you may need a location for the app to run properly, or to produce relevant information for you. Windows 10 tries to find your device’s location, but it may fail to get one. To cope with these situations, Windows 10 has introduced a Default location that directs the Windows apps and services when Windows can’t detect a more exact location for your PC. Setting your default location is easy as pie, as you will see in this guide:

NOTE: Setting your default location in Windows 10 ensures that a relevant location is always available for your apps and services. If you have concerns about the privacy of your location data, we encourage you to view your information in the Microsoft Privacy portal.

How to set your default location in Windows 10

To change your default location in Windows 10, you must first open the Settings app. A quick way to do this is to click or tap its button from the Start Menu. Inside the Settings app, go to the Privacy section.


Open Privacy settings in Windows 10
On the left side of the window, click or tap Location. On the right side of the Settingswindow, scroll until you find the section called Default location. It tells you that “Windows, apps, and services can use this when we can’t detect a more exact location on this PC”. Click or tap the “Set default”button.

This action opens the Maps app. In it, you find a dialog box in which Windows 10 shows you the same message about your default location being used, when a more exact location cannot be detected on your device.

Click or tap the “Set default location” button.
