How to turn off location in Windows 11
Before we show you the steps you need to take, it's important to clarify that you don't need to activate Windows 11 to turn off location. We also recommend turning off location for some apps, as this will create fewer conflicts when using Windows 11 on your computer.
- First, you will need to enter the word "Settings" in the search bar. A window will appear with several options, click on "Settings" and then "Open".
- Once you are in the Settings window, you will need to go to the Privacy and Security tab.
- Then go to the "Location" section.
- As a final step, click on the button next to Location Services, this will ensure that no app can access your location.
In case your computer does not allow you to turn off location, you will have to log into Windows 11 as an administrator. It all depends on how the user through whom you use the computer is configured.
