What is this arrow icon that briefly appears in the taskbar notification area?
Aug 17
I use Windows 11 and I have been noticing that an arrow icon appears for a few seconds in the task bar notification area then disppears again a few seconds later.
Does anyone know what this icon is for? When I attempt to click on it to see what it does the arrow just disappears.

This icon is the Windows Location Services, it comes up when an app/program/service is using the Location Services.
See more details in the Windows location service and privacy info from Microsoft:
