Location Issue on my laptop with Windows 11

1/16/25 UPDATE: Continued efforts and research to fix the location matter. Repeat - every single suggestion posted on any forum does not work. Tablet didn't work. Desktop across the room works (location). I unplugged the tablet and took it to the gym w/me. I'd log back in using their Wi-Fi and the location was accurate again. So I thought there was a setting in my modem or router that needed to be addressed. But why would the desktop still work? I did a complete reset on the modem while talking to xFinity. Coincidentally on the same day, Microsoft pushed out two big updates. I installed those. Within hours the tablet is back to working again and reflecting the correct location. My guess - it was the updates (again). Hard to say. Still no issue w/Apple product though. Until the next time.

Bob - You must be busy. No response. This is not an IPv6 issue. As I mentioned, the IP address lookup on both windows PC’s is local. The desktop works. The laptop/tablet does not. They each connect to the same router/modem in the same room. Network card driver variations is the only thing I can find. I can no longer use the laptop for any searches as it wants to recommend stores in Kansas. Since Microsoft won’t address this, I’ve also reached out to Google - not that I feel this is their issue but seek their technical expertise as again, multiple discussion boards over many years with numerous people having the same issue is getting nowhere with Microsoft. I’m beyond frustrated now wondering if it’s best to solely use Apple products.

Hi Rob. Thank you as always for your timely and detailed responses. I used to do IT work back in the day but stuck to commercial real estate banking! So with that said, I'm feeling a bit rusty, can talk the talk and totally not afraid to venture into commands, registry edits and/or services. As others have said, Microsoft makes enough profit on top of their highly paid people to get software code working as it's supposed to, i.e. if we tell settings to adjust time zone automatically, then it does so accurately. Period. As for IP4 vs IP6, I'm not seeing an IP6 address - only 4. And while I own the Apple ecosystem, I've been more comfortable w/Windows for use of Office and file storage purposes. With that said - I own two Lenovo computers. #1 is a tablet or laptop. #2 is a desktop. BOTH connect wirelessly to my router. The tablet is having the location issue, NOT the desktop. Both have all current updates. Comparatives are as follows:

#1: Tablet - Link to Public IP states IPv4 address of 73.2.92.131. IPv6 not detected. This equates to Comcast Cable located in Roseville, CA (about 20 miles up the road).

#2: Desktop - Link to Public IP states the same IP#

#1: Tablet reflects incorrect location in the weather widget and maps thinks I'm in Olathe, KS. #2: Desktop - Accurately depicts my location in both apps.

Here are the Wi-Fi settings on both units understanding the local IPv6 address & physical addresses are different. *** What is differentiating the tablet from the desktop in functionality?
