Real Location Dell xps 9720 even after using VPN
Hi,
I have a Dell xps 9720 with windows 11 installed and VPN. I have disabled from windows the location and when I check in the browser the location is showing my real location even with VPN.
Does this laptop have GPS included?
I need to disable the location and I don't know how.
Can somebody help me to disable it?
Thanks in advance

I have same issue, it seems like an internal component rewrites the location.
If you find a solution, let me know

This is interesting. I have a XPS 15 9510 and I use the Norton VPN which makes me appear to be in other locations as expected. I turn it off and on as needed and it has always worked properly.

Even without vpn the location should be approximate, depending on the ip not the exact location.
Any website that asks for your permission to access your location can see your exact location and it doesn't seem normal to me at all.
When I use vpn it's the same, the location remains the real one even if some sites show the location from the vpn.
There are quite a few sites that show the exact location
