    When I enter "X451CA" at the ASUS support site...

    https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/X451CA/HelpDesk/

    ... & search that for "Location Settings", I find nothing sensible...

    https://www.asus.com/support/Search-Result-Detail/785DB97E-2963-4FCA-B615-F6E5763C607D/?keyword=location settings

    How do I configure the date, time, and location settings?

    ...It says: Go to Settings -> Date, Time & Location, deselect Automatic then select Automatic again.

    But I think it must be speaking of Win 8.1 & not a special ASUS feature.

    However, the site seems to say you can do a reset. What makes you think you can't...?...

    Contrary to what I believed.... Cortana is working which uses the Location. This would only mean that I cannot turn Location OFF... it has always been turned On... Am I right in this?

    The Scannow took around an hour and 30.... But I did not notice it got stuck.

    (1) How long did it take for yours to run, & did it stick at any % for an hour or so?

         I just want to know if it's just me or it happens to everyone.

    (2) SFC implies it fixed some files, but I suppose your Location problem wasn't fixed,

         which leaves me sorely disappointed with MS. That's what SFC is for!

    (3) OK, let's look at the report, in the perhaps vain hope it mentions your missing file...

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/928228

    How to analyze the log file entries that the Microsoft Windows Resource Checker (SFC.exe) program generates in Windows Vista

    (a) Open Explorer to "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS"

         This is the folder that holds "CBS.log".

    (b) R-Clk "CBS.log", & select "Open", (or D-Clk "CBS.log").

         It's large - may take several seconds to open.

    (c) Click the "Edit" Menu, & select "Find".

    (d) Type or paste "Cannot repair member file" into the find box, & hit ENTER.

         Should get you to something like this...

    2007-01-12 12:10:42, Info                  CSI    00000008 [SR] Cannot

    repair member file [l:34{17}]"Accessibility.dll" of Accessibility, Version =

    6.0.6000.16386, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_MSIL (8), Culture neutral,

    VersionScope neutral, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:b03f5f7f11d50a3a}, Type

    neutral, TypeName neutral, PublicKey neutral in the store, file is missing

    ...I've made the file name bold. Yours will be in that same position - pretty close to the find string. Copy the name, & post it. Then, Find Next (use the Edit menu or F3, maybe with FN), & post each one found.

    (4) Let's try these others, at a Command Prompt, perhaps in vain...

    (a) DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

         Gave an almost instantaneous result.

    (b) DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

         Took 13 minutes for me, mostly showing 20%.

    (c) DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

         I didn't need to run it. Run it - if either (a) or (b) found a problem.

         Afterwards - do you have "START, Settings, Privacy, Location" functionality?

    I've been through my registry & haven't yet found another file you might be missing. And there are too many registry keys involved for me to start giving you those.

    (A) I suppose you did check - & Lfsvc.dll is indeed in the right folder: C:\Windows\System32.

    (B) I've found this site...

    https://www.asus.com/support

    ASUS Support

    ...What is your computer model?

    (C) Let's try SFC, hoping it may recover a file & possibly registry entries...

    (1) R-Clk START, & select "Command Prompt (admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (admin)".

         A command prompt window opens.

    (2) Type "SFC /Scannow", & hit ENTER.

         Mine took near 2 hours to finish, & stuck at 53% for over an hour - but did finish...

    Check whether you've got the Location button working in Action Center, maybe after reboot.
