Autopilot/Set-WindowsTimeZone.ps1 is in a non-functional state

The fix

During the Enable-LocationServices function, the following code is used to let Windows apps access location:

Intune/Autopilot/Set-WindowsTimeZone.ps1

Lines 181 to 182 in 539205c

	$AppsAccessLocation = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy"
	Set-RegistryValue -Path $AppsAccessLocation -Name "LetAppsAccessLocation" -Value 0 -Type "DWord"

If we take a look at the details of this policy setting, a DWord of 0 means the user is in control. We instead need to set it to 1.

With the value set to one, the script executes as expected:

However, by doing so, the location services are still force enabled after the script finished execution:

To get rid of this, I've edited the Disable-LocationServices function to include the LetAppsAccessLocation DWord and set it to 0:

$AppsAccessLocation = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy"
Set-RegistryValue -Path $AppsAccessLocation -Name "LetAppsAccessLocation" -Value 0 -Type "DWord"

After execution:
