For me it started to work in Edge as soon as I disable the permission the Edge application in Windows Location Privacy settings!
It's quite counter-intuitive... but that worked!

Bruno_Gachie OMG, thank you. This has been driving me crazy for months on end. You solution of turning location off for Edge - indeed counterintuitive - appears to have worked.

I searched and searched and finally must have used just the right combination of search terms to end up here. Just like the others, Chrome knows exactly where I am, but Edge is completely wrong (I'm near Toronto and it has me in Tacoma Washington, that's really wrong!). I get sent to US websites instead of Canadian ones. Can't access some websites etc.
