How to prevent BoostSpeed from disabling location services?

Tweaks

Is it possible to disable scanning and updating the tweak for location services during a scan?

I always have to use regedit after scanning and resolving to bring location services back to normal, that is ENABLED.

See instructions below.

Open Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Start menu search bar.
Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\LocationAndSensors.
If the LocationAndSensors folder doesn't exist, create it.
Inside LocationAndSensors, create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named DisableLocation and set its value data to 0.
Restart your computer

Print Screen function not working

For years - up until about a year ago - when my screen saver ("3aline") drew it's gorgeous graphics, I could just hit 'print screen' and it would save the graphic design directly into my DropBox 'screen prints' folder. However, that function has ceased working. I've been thru Logitech's menus (I'm using a LogiTech MK670 keyboard), and I cannot get it to work with a single key press. The only options involve a second key - Windows, Control, Alt, etc. - which immediately, when pressed, clear the graphic from the screen, making it impossible to save the graphic to file. It won't even save to memory, where I might be able to just paste it into my design software. For my graphic to save, it has to be done with a single key press - but it quit doing that a while ago. I suspect maybe a Windows Update caused the problem, but I can't figure a work-around. The only difference is that I changed from an HP laptop to an LG Gram laptop, but the problem started weeks after the switch. Windows 11, all updates installed on both systems. I can't screen print ANY screen images. Any ideas?

Reactivating Location Services in the Privacy & Security section

Location Services are "OFF." All the options to change to "ON" such as Camera, Mail and Calendar, Maps,through to Speedtest are grayed out. I've tried all kinds of possible solutions. None have worked. I'm wondering if Im going to have to Recover the conmputer by saving my files and installing a new copy of Windows 11 Pro? I may have to reinstall my Raid drivers as well as some of the Motherboard drivers during the reinstallation.

What are your thoughts?

Location Services Stopped Working

I am an administrator, but Location Services no longer works. I believe this happened after an update was installed 1-2 months ago.

Turn on location services

I just got a new computer, and the location services area is grayed out, meaning I cannot turn on GPS as a means to determine location. It says the administrator can do this. I'm the administrator. What screen do I need to go to, to turn this on? Thanks.

Location setting managed by your organization

My location setting has been disabled (turned off) and is greyed out so I cannot turn it back on. I now see a message indicating that my computer is "Managed by your organization" but this is my personal computer. I actually have 2 computers and this message appears on both computers along with the same restrictions to my settings.
Can you advise how I can regain the administrative control of my PCs and eliminate "Managed by your organization"?

laptop wakeup problems

I dont turn off laptop at night. I run it with lid closed when in use.
I used to just move the mouse in the morning to wake it up, but not now.
I now have to open lid to wake it up and monitor shows large icons, clicking on Firefox gives a screen too big to use.
I then close lid to get the smaller icons that are usable.
Hitting the WIN key + P and choosing second screen only also fixes the icon size problem.
I went through all the 'wakeup' fixes I could find but to no avail.
There is a small chance this is a cat problem, I have several.
Any suggestions?
subcategory choices makes me think "windows" was wrong category to choose.

Power options gone, laptop does not sleep when i close it

I have problems Closing the lid does not work. I set it to sleep or shut down neither of them worked.When I tried to find a solutions
I entered a code to CMD and all my power plans resetted.The ones which auslogics set also gone the preset power plans.And when I set balanced again I have also have no slider on the battery icon to change it to left to battery save or right to better performance.

Now I have left with no power plans of auslogics and ultimate is gone too.Can I get them back or how ?
Can I get back my old battery icon slider when in balanced mode ?
Can I fix the closing the lid action and make laptop sleep when i close it ?
