The Windows 10 systems, like any other Windows OS, are usually used with a permanent network connection enabled. In this way, you can have access to Windows Store from where you can download and install various apps and you can also stay in touch with everything that’s new.

Anyway, since you are using an Internet connection, you might be prompted with the following message or alert:

Your Location has Recently Been Accessed.

What does this mean? Should you worry about something? Well, first of all, you should know that you have no reason for getting worried. This is a normal message that is often displayed on Windows 10 platforms and is caused by the apps that are installed on your device.

So, basically after installing a tool like the weather gadget or any other app that is accessing your location through a network connection, you might periodically get the Your location has recently been accessed alert.

Now, even though you shouldn’t worry about the same, the message might become quite annoying at some point. So, you will want to remove the same or resolve this issue. In that matter, you can anytime check the guidelines below which will easily take you through the troubleshooting process.

How to Hide Apps on Android

From a safety and security viewpoint, you should always use a screen lock along with some form of biometric authentication on your Android device to prevent anyone else from accessing it.

How to enable 2FA on Discord

One of the best ways to ensure the security of your Discord account is to turn on 2FA. When enabled, you’ll need to add an extra numerical code generated by a phone app or dongle every time you log in.

Before diving in, let’s take a quick moment to clear up the differences between two-factor authentication and two-step authentication. They’re similar, but not identical.

Two-factor authentication is when you protect an account with two different types of authorization methods. A factor can be one of the following:

  • Something you know: This includes a piece of information, like a password or security question.
  • Something you have: For example, your smartphone or another physical device.
  • Something you are: A factor unique to your body, such as your fingerprint or iris.

True two-factor authentication means you must unlock two checks from different factors before you can log in. If your account is protected by two locks of the same factor, this is called two-step authentication.
