Microsoft is working on improving location permissions in Windows 11. Build 25977, released on October 18, introduces new location controls to help you manage app access to the available Wi-Fi network list (programs can use it to determine your location).

Starting with build 25977, applications get access to the list of Wi-Fi networks only after the user grants permission to a precise location. Windows 11 will notify you when an app tries to access location or Wi-Fi data. The OS will show a dialogue window, allowing you to grant or deny permission or open privacy settings.

After updating to the latest Windows 11 24H2 build the first time you open Survey PRO you will be prompted with the following message box. YES is required for Survey PRO to function.

If the Permission is denied Survey PRO will open with the following error message

To restore access please open Windows Settings, Privacy & security > Location
