Trouble with Location [View all]

PC running Windows 10, latest version

I've been traveling in Europe, but am not back in the US.

Problem is, that many of the services keep on thinking I'm still in Europe.

I've cleared the cache on my browsers, made sure that Region and Location in Windows is set to the USA, but still when I use google or Amazon or several other things, I get that I'm in Romania or Sweden or someplace else.

Anyone have any ideas how to correct this?

Thank you in advance.
