FixMyLocation Description
Some Windows 10 iterations prior to Threshold 2 have experienced problems in accurately identifying the location of their host computer, as reported by some users. If you experience similar issues, you can try out an application called FixMyLocation to allow the PC’s default location to be reported correctly.
Why location is important
Not having the default location accurately read by the system can affect various applications, starting with Cortana. In fact, Cortana’s functionality is severely affected without an exact pin-point on the map to identify your geographical coordinates. For instance, you cannot ask it to find nearby places of interest or show you the weather predictions.
In case the operating system fails to show your exact location, then it’s worth trying FixMyLocation to find a fix to this issue.
A system tray application to pin-point your exact location
FixMyLocation runs in the system tray without interfering with your work in any way. The location services must be enabled for it to do its magic, but that is about it. For your convenience, the Windows location settings can be easily accessed from the context menu of FixMyLocation.
To ease your work even further, FixMyLocation can be configured to launch at system startup. This way, you know that your location is exact when using your PC.
Helps Windows accurately identify your location
Since most of the apps that require location information rely on the system’s detection capabilities to work properly, an issue such as this might be serious. FixMyLocation promises to work around this problem without interfering with your daily activities.
