7. Disable Location Service

- Click on the Notifications icon from the Taskbar.
- Click on the Location tile to turn it off.
However, if you can’t find out the option, you can follow the steps below:

- Here turn off the Location Service toggle from ‘Location Privacy Settings’.
- Now, click on Change > Disable the toggle under ‘Location for This Device’.
- Once done, restart your computer, and go to the Location Privacy Settings option again.
- Re-enable both the Location for This Device and Location Service option.
