The Disallow changing of geographic location machine setting should be configured correctly.
This policy prevents users from changing their user geographical location (GeoID). If this policy is Enabled, then the user cannot change their geographical location (GeoID) If the policy is Disabled or Not Configured, then the user may select any GeoID. If this policy is Enabled at the Machine level, then it cannot be disabled by a per-User policy. If this policy is Disabled at the Machine level, then the per-User policy will be ignored. If this policy is Not Configured at the machine level, then restrictions will be based on per-User policies.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Locale Services\Disallow changing of geographic location
(2) KEY: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Control Panel\International\PreventGeoIdChange
