Location Tab in Action Center is grayed out

[mzaidzia]

Hi guys!!!

I have just instlled windows 10. All drivers has been installed from hp drivers and software support website.

But this location tab in action centre is grayed out. I guess location driver is not installed or i dont know.

While in given picture you can see all drivers has been installed in Device manager.

Can someone else let me know that where location(GPS) hardware is listed in Device Manager. So that I can try deleting and reinstalling it.

For kind information before unistalling Windows location tab was working i.e Hardware is builtin.

My laptop is HP ENVY AE130TX, Windows 10 home x64

Please check hp drivers from their site, and guide me if I am missing one.

Please help me.

Regards:

Zaid

Hi @mzaidzia, 

Thanks for the post. 

I see you are looking for the procedure to use the location option in the action center. I would like to help. 

The location option is not available in device manager.

For you to be able to enable or disable it, you need to be the administrator for the computer. 

For the method to use it or change its settings, I recommend you to visit this 3rd party website. The procedure is explained in good detail.

The location option is usually grayed out. You can enable it form the privacy settings.
