How to accept geo location on initial setup

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft community and for sharing the details. Please allow me to guide you on how to fix this, Just to confirm, When you say the Accept button is greyed out, does the setup screen respond at all like letting you click ‘Skip’ or move to the next step or is the entire system completely frozen and unresponsive?”

This helps clarify whether it’s a UI limitation or a full system freeze, which determines the next troubleshooting step. The “Accept” button for location services during Windows 11 setup can appear greyed out for a few reasons. Most often, it’s because location services are disabled or restricted by system settings or policies. Here’s what you can do:

First, restart the setup process, sometimes a reboot clears temporary glitches. If the issue persists, complete the setup without enabling location (skip that step if possible), then go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location and turn on location services once you’re in Windows.

If the toggle is still greyed out, it may be due to administrator restrictions or registry settings. In that case, sign in with an account that has admin rights, enable location services under Privacy & Security, or adjust the registry key DisableLocation to 0 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\LocationAndSensors.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.

Kind regards

Edward

I cannot do any of the suggested actions as the computer is frozen on that page-this is the first setup.
