Location and Network improvements in Windows 11 24H2

In 24H2 new controls were added to help manage which apps have access to the list of Wi-Fi networks around you, which could be used to determine your location.

 

The location options can be accessed in Settings > Privacy & security > Location > 'Let desktop apps access your location'

If this setting is disabled deviceTRUST is unable to access device location and Wi-Fi Security information.


This will result in the location and Wi-Fi Security properties not being populated with the correct data. If these properties are referenced within your config then please enable this feature for the deviceTRUST Client Extension,
