From my Microsoft Account profile page, if I click "Find my device" or "Show my location" in Bing Map (Default map comes with Windows) it shows my current location in Seattle, even though my laptop is in Toronto Canada. However, if I open my browser and open Bing map or Google Maps, it shows my correct location. Also to solve this issue I tried reinstalling Windows twice, using a VPN to set my location the same as where I live, I ran Windows troubleshooter multiple times. I can't think of any more troubleshooting steps on my own.

New stable release of Edge v126.0.2592.56 arrived today. Seems to have fixed the geolocation issue many have reported here and elsewhere.
Ran a series of tests with MS maps app, Google and Bing maps as well as mylocation.org using browser geolocation. All reported the correct location for me. Let's hope it stays that way.

Yes, since yesterday, it now locates my correct town
Awesome. I just updated Edge to the current referenced version on tablet. Will do so on Desktop. Shall I put the VPN proxy setting back to auto-detect? I had turned it off per article: Windows 11 Maps Shows Wrong Location: Fixed - NEXTOFWINDOWS.COM
While much better than before the v126. Edge update I still notice an occasional wrong location as before but not as often. Better but not totally fixed IMO.
Today as an experiment, I decided to change my time settings to "set time zone automatically" which was how it was set before Edge geolocation started acting up.
A few minutes later it automatically changed my time zone to eastern from central.
Something is STILL wrong with geolocation IMO.
I turned automatic time zone off and set it back manually to central time, where it belongs at my location.
