Hi,

After trace using process monitor and regshot tool, I found location related setting stored in the following registry entries:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\System\AllowLocation

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Privacy

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\current\device\Privacy

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SystemSettings\SettingId\SystemSettings_Privacy_LocationEnabledMasterInfo

HKU\****\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CloudStore\Store\Cache\DefaultAccount\$windows.data.unifiedtile.localstarttilepropertiesmap\Current\Data:

However, there is no registry entry exact point to default location configuration.
