Pro Tip: I’ve written lots and lots of Windows tutorial content here on Ask Dave Taylor. Right now I have mine set to “Always detect my location” but if I wanted to lock it to Boulder, Colorado, say, I could choose Default Location and specify that instead. Now you’ll be able to change the Weather app settings:Ī few other interesting settings, but the key one is the last: Launch Location. See that gear icon on the lower left of the Weather app screen? Click on it.

No? Okay, so here’s how you can tie the weather forecast data to a specific location instead. It’s a bit confusing, but the problem might just be that you’re paying too much attention.

If the lock screen is not displayed at startup, disabling the lock screen is complete. This doesn’t apply to a desktop computer that stays in one place, of course, because it doesn’t move around, but if you have a laptop or tablet that includes a weather forecast, it’s probably trying to figure out your location and use that for the forecast. But no matter which method for unlocking your Windows 10 computer you are using, you will still end up on the login screen in Window 10 when you boot your computer or want to unlock.
