    Greetings all!! For some reason, the "Location/Change" button is grayed out and not allowing me to change the location. This is causing the other app toggles to be set to "Off". When I click on "Change", it does nothing. I checked my region in Control Panel but it is set correctly. By not being able to activate the other toggles, it does affect some I use often such as "MyRadar". Any ideas?? Thanks all :)

    Are you signed in as an administrator?
    You need to be for this to work.

    Hi Cindy! Long time since we last spoke! Hope all is well. As I am the only user of this PC, I would like to assume I am the ADMIN. I have never been blocked before from making these types of changes. How would I check to assure I am using it as admin? Thanks for your reply ;)

    It's been a while!
    I hope that all is well with you.
    Try THIS and see if it helps.
    If it doesn't we will try something else.

    You aren't using an Insider Preview, are you?
    If so, the location button will not work for you.
