Hello,

I would like to disable the location sensors on Windows 7, so I found this website with a guide on what to do
How to Enable or Disable Location Sensing in Windows 7 and 8 | Gizmo's Freeware

but the problem is that in my situation, it says "Enabled" but all options are disabled and i can't change anything


this is a picture of my current situation and what I want to accomplish:

It turns out they come with check marks. I installed some simulation GPS thing and it showe dup on the list and this "Enabled" has a check mark underneath it. So the initial problem was that Microsoft were dimwitted and made this part of the UI unintuitive and misleading.
