Windows location service persistently reports weird incorrect location
"Hi Andrey, thanks for the update. Since both your Windows 11 and Windows 10 machines on the same LAN are reporting the same incorrect location, this strongly suggests that Microsoft’s location database has associated your public IP address or your router's gateway with that specific coordinate in Minneapolis.
Since you've already verified that IP-based geolocation sites work correctly, it confirms that your ISP is providing the correct location, but Windows Location Service is pulling from a stale or incorrect database entry. I agree with henry_collins that resetting the local cache is a good first step, but you might also want to try power-cycling your router to see if your ISP assigns you a different IP, which might force a re-update in Microsoft's database. If that fails, using the Feedback Hub is indeed the best way to flag this 'bad data' to Microsoft's geolocation team."
