I often open Microsoft Start Screen on Edge to make sure Norton is running and see what state it's currently showing me in. As of today, it no longer works. In the past, it's shown the location of whatever server I'm currently running through, now it's showing my actual location every time. I've done full resets of both my computer and Norton, and it seems to be hiding my location from all other websites, but not Microsoft. Is this a new problem? Is there a fix for this?

It's Norton 360 Secure VPN. Up until recently, if I had the VPN running, my location on sites would show as wherever Norton ran my IP address from. Now, with or without the VPN running, sites such as Google, Bing, SmartScreen, etc, show my actual location, regardless of how many times I refresh the page or turn the VPN on and off.
