How to Disable lFSVC?

#1 – Method for stopping lFSVC
Let us show you how easily you can disable location in Windows 10 (Any version.)
One: First, you have to open settings, so click on the “Start” button and click on the SETTINGS gear icon.
Two: Once the settings tab is opened, you have to select “PRIVACY” and open it.
Three: When the privacy tab is opened, you can see that there is an option called “location” you have to click on it.
Four: Now, you have to disable the location service by clicking on the icon. We have shared the screenshot.
Five: The location is disabled; you won’t be able to use it until you enable it manually. Scroll down and click on CLEAR LOCATION HISTORY because programs can have access to your old location.
You don’t have to worry about Windows auto-enable and no apps can auto-enable it unless you permit the third-party application to use it without your permission. Make sure to read the permission grant of every program before you install on your Windows PC.
If you scroll a little more, then you will able to see, which program have access to precise location and you can even turn those off to keep them away.

In settings option, you can turn off the location service completely by clearing the previously saved information, disabling access to the current program which needs access to it, and you get full control over there.
