Access is Denied when trying to use GeoLocation

[psychoSherlock]

import winsdk.windows.devices.geolocation as wdg
import asyncio


async def getCoords():
    locator = wdg.Geolocator()
    pos = await locator.get_geoposition_async()
    return [pos.coordinate.latitude, pos.coordinate.longitude]


def getLoc():
    return asyncio.run(getCoords())


getLoc()

PermissionError: [WinError -2147024891] Access is denied

I would check the Windows settings to make sure location services are enabled.

Damn you are fast man. 😂 Silly me. That was the error. I was trying everything.

Also, just another silly doubt. Why does my laptop sometimes show not so accurate location but sometime it does?

[psychoSherlock]

Just wanna make sure if its using the hardware or the IP address

I don't know much about how it works.
