Your Location Is Currently In Use - Windows 10 at boot up.

Tweet

A target symbol appears briefly every time I boot up my computer for the first time in the morning. If I put my mouse cursor over it, a brief message appears saying - “Your location has recently been accessed” then the next notification message appears before disappearing from view: "YOUR LOCATION IS CURRENTLY IN USE" - then it disappears. This message indicates that one or more programs are working that are using LOCATION BASED SERVICES. I know that Windows 10 knows my location. I also know that AT&T does. They installed my Wireless system and they know where I live but besides this, some websites ask that you let them know your location for their statistical purposes. For whatever reason I am skeptical as to the intrusive nature of this feature in Windows 10 based 64 bit systems. I wanted to learn more about this feature in Windows so I Google search it and get the following basic hit by typing in the exact phrase in a Google search window: 'Your Location Is Currently In Use - Windows 10 at boot up' - and here is my result: An overview of this is as follows: It says only that apps downloaded from the Windows 10 store access your Windows 10 location services feature and also that you can disable this feature if you choose. I do not bother. I keep it working. There could be good reasons to use it. If you have two or more mobile devices and want to communicate printer sharing and file sharing with each device it is best to keep this location based system active.
