Navigate to Privacy Settings and click on "Location" in the left sidebar. Enable Location Access by toggling on the "Allow apps to access your location" switch. Review and manage app permissions, including Microsoft Edge and Maps. If still encountering issue, check Microsoft Edge Browser Settings: Open the website in the Microsoft Edge browser on your Windows desktop. Access Edge Settings by clicking on the three horizontal dots (or "More" menu) at the top-right corner of the browser window and selecting "Settings."
