Turn on Location Redirection for Windows 365 Cloud PC

In this article, we will demonstrate how you can turn on location redirection for Windows 365 Cloud PC. The location redirection feature lets Cloud PCs access your approximate location safely without privacy concerns. Users can turn on Location redirection so that their Cloud PCs use their correct geographic location.

By turning on the location service, you let your Cloud PC use the location of your physical device for most apps. Because the Cloud PC relies on your physical device for location information, you must first enable location redirection on your physical device and then on the Cloud PC. Enabling location redirection requires local admin privileges on the Cloud PC.

There are multiple ways to connect to and access your Cloud PCs. However, the location redirection feature is only available when connecting to the Cloud PC via a web browser. Other methods, such as the remote desktop client and the Windows 365 app, do not support enabling location direction for Cloud PCs yet.

Microsoft operates a location service that helps determine the precise geographic location of your Windows device. The precise location of your device allows apps to give you directions, show shops and restaurants that are near you, and more. Before you turn on location redirection for Windows 365 Cloud PC, we recommend going through the article on Windows location services and privacy.

Location Redirection is a preview feature introduced as part of the end-user experience in Windows 365 Service Release 2304. The feature will move out of preview once all the reported issues are resolved. It’s worth testing this feature and submitting your feedback to the Windows 365 team.

Step 1: Enable Location Services on Physical Devices for Cloud PC


When you connect to a Cloud PC from your physical device, the Cloud PC relies on your physical device to get location information. If the location services are disabled on your physical device, location redirection may not work correctly for Windows 365 Cloud PC.


To turn on location services on your physical Windows device that you use to connect to your Windows 365 Cloud PC, follow these steps:


  • On your physical device, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location.
  • For Location services, set the toggle to On.
  • For Let apps access your location, set the toggle to On.


On Windows 10 and 11, many apps and services request location information from your device. The Windows location service gives you control over which apps are allowed to access your precise location. Once the location services are turned on, each user on the device can allow apps to use their device’s location and location history to deliver location-aware services as precisely as their device supports.
