The Windows 10 operating system is able to determine your location through GPS, Wi-Fi networks, and IP address. The operating system will be able to provide relevant information that you are looking for if it is able to pin point your location for directions, show nearby shops and restaurants, and more. However, this information can also be used to spy on you and put you in danger. This information is also heavily used in advertising and helpful in sending emergency messages happening around you. The most accurate way for the operating system to determine your location is through GPS, then through Wi-Fi networks, and then through IP address that can be altered or hidden. If in case you really like this service but the operating system is giving you the wrong location, you can try clearing the location history. This action is also good to improve privacy by preventing apps from tracking your movements.
