Hi everyone.
I'm experiencing a problem with the geolocalization of my Acer Aspire E15 with Windows 10 upgraded from 8.1
Immediately after the update all worked fine but now i cannot activate it through notification center or neither settings.
In services.msc I cannot start geolocalizatio service.
Thanks in advance!

@Skinoku Have you tried restarting your computer, searching %temp% through Cortana and deleting everything there?

Furthermore, have you checked in the settings and control panel?

You could also give this a shot:
I also found this information about Windows 10 geolocation service:
After disabling the Geolocation Service by changing startup type to Disabled, attempts to re-enable it will fail with an error message. As the Geolocation Service can no longer be started, Geolocation will remain disabled on the device and prevent location based functionality from working. To work around this issue, manually delete the following regkey using regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lfsvc\TriggerInfo\3.

Thank you @venustus !
Your solution worked as a charm!
I'm sorry for asking you a question that was treated on Microsoft TechNet.
I probably disabled it by mistake playing with msconifg.
By the way, good day to you! ;)
