<br> This service monitors the current location of the system and manages geofences (a <br> geographical location with associated events). <br> <br> This setting affects the location feature (e.g. GPS or other location tracking). From a <br> security perspective, it’s not a good idea to reveal your location to software in most cases, <br> but there are legitimate uses, such as mapping software. However, they should not be used <br> in high security environments. <br> Fixtext: <br> Fix: <br> (1) GPO: Computer ConfigurationWindows SettingsSecurity SettingsSystem ServicesGeolocation Service <br> <br> (2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServiceslfsvc!Start <br>
