Location Permission

Beitrag von IsacImages » Sa 14. Dez 2024, 06:54

Before I start, I am in Australia and using a language conversion from German to English in Firefox, so I hope my post is understood.
I begin:
I am using O&O Shutup10++ (version 1.9.1438) on Windows Pro 11 24H2 (OS Build 26.100.2314).
I use the "Recommended and somewhat recommended settings". Since updating to 24H2 I am unable to make changes to the Location services in Privacy & security > Location settings in Windows Settings. The "Location services" is greyed out. I do require this to be ON as I use Google Maps often. When I run Google Maps I get the following message:
"Awaiting Location Permission - Grant Firefox location permission in system settings" and the the Windows Privacy & security > Location settings dialog box pops up as well, which shows the "Location services" greyed out.

I reset O&O to Undo all changes (factory settings) and I was able to access the "Location services" which was not greyed out.

What settings in O&O Shutup do I need to switch OFF to enable "Location services" in the Windows setting?

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Greg

Hello,

As far as we know, the option "Disable functionality to locate the system" under Local Machine should be set to red if you want to use location detection.

You also should set "Disable app access to device location" in category "Current User" to red (means you should change setting twice). It is also recommendable, to reboot computer after changing settings (reboot, shut down and switch on again might not be sufficient).
