With Location Services Disabled, will these services no longer run and report back to Microsoft?

Software will probably use some other means (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.) to determine your location. For example, when I'm on the corporate VPN, web sites tend to think my location is in the city where my company is, even though I'm at home.

I have disabled Location Services in Settings because the Laptop is stationary all the time in the same place.

I have noticed that when Location Services was Enabled the following services (print screen below) were continuously accessing the location (the Arrow in the task bar will pop up) and reporting back to Microsoft I would assume, now with Location service disabled, will these services run and report back using the ISP IP broader location or will they stop doing that? Thanks

That's usually your IP - it's why VPN tends to mess with that. :)
