The location services are turning on for setting time zone (?¿?¿) even though I have everything turned off. What is this ******** ? I've been having more issues with this macOS version than any before.
Got a tip for us?

Another 10.12.4 bug... Setting Time zone every few minutes

I'm also having this issue on my iPhone as well as my mac. However, it is checking the location less frequently as days go on despite the fact I have the feature disabled on both devices!
it worked for me... well I'm debating between downgrading all the way down to El Capitan.
Or just grow a clue and unset the checkbox labeled "Set timezone automatically using current location" in the Date & Time Preference Pane.
I know, I know... much more 'l33t to randomly delete files.
^ Lol right? Why wouldn't we think to use the setting that goes by the name of the exact issue we are having?
I am still getting this issue on my iPhone as well. BOTH have time zone setting to off.
My mbp only does it when I have maps or weather location enabled. Both of which appear as separate services in the location icon.

Having the same issues, but that file is not there.. that is kind of strange.
I might have a solution - been talking to AppleCare. Apparently there is a double trigger, which overwrites. You need to go to system prefernces -> "Time and Date" and remove the tick at "adjust date and time automatically" <= that setting overwrites and will still prompt for the server to adjust the time and date if you just removed at system preferences ->security and privacy.
I have not tested this yet.

thanks for the answer, let me know how it goes, but I don't think it has anything to do with the location services right ? I have adjust time and date automatically checked, and the autotime zone in " Time and Date " off right now, with all the location services off. After removing the autotimezone.plist file I haven't seen the location services poping out in the menu bar , but they are totally turned off....
Just came back from the Genius Bar, they said it was an OS bug, they told me to wait for the next update lol
