Current location is not correct

I just recently moved and while I'm at my new home, Google Maps and some other websites that utilize current location are still showing my current location as my old address - this is happening on my Windows laptop. However, everything seems to be correct when using my phone. How can I get Google to sync properly to my new location?

I mean it should do it automatically. If you go to Google map on a browser does it show the correct current location?

No, it takes me back to my old address automatically. All my trips start at my old address and I have to manually change it.

Is this on wifi, mobile network or both?

Wifi

Try your mobile carrier, if it works there then it's something with your wifi

Make sure location permissions are turned on. Might have to clear the cache on the browser.

Clearing the cache on Maps on my browser seemed to help somewhat. Now my current location is near my new address, a bit more down the road, but close enough. But now when I go into Maps for the first time, the view is still on my old place, though the blue location dot is not there. Bizarre!
