Issues:
FAILED TO DETECT?
1. Make sure LOCATION services on your PC are turned off, (you may have to google based on your windows version)
for windows 10, just type location in your search bar on bottom and go to location privacy settings, hit change and make sure its OFF, and make sure location below says OFF.
2. Double check that in your android settings in bluestacks gps is set to high accuracy and that google location services is disabled.
You may want to try GPS only in android location settings
and make sure google location is disabled in android settings
make sure your location is turned off on PC in windows 10 its super ez, just type location in search and goto location privacy settings.
for windows 7 and 8 follow these directions here

STILL GETTING FAILED TO DETECT LOCATION? TRY THIS
gubacha3646 minutes ago
I found a way to fix "Failed to detect location"
First of all, download developer menu apk file (http://bluestacksapk.com/Download_Developer-Options-Tool_APK-Bluestacks.html)
after installing it, open it, and turn it OFF! (everything is unchecked, but who cares, just turn it OFF from top right)
CRASHING WHEN CATCHING POKEMON?
1: Please try removing your google account by going into settings, clicking google, hitting top right dots and remove account, re open pokemon go, it should still log you in no problem. (credits:zen)
2. Reinstall bluestacks if above didn't work.
POKESTOPS NOT WORKING? CAUGHT POKEMON NOT SAVING?
You probably jumped far away from where you last were and now you're softbanned (don't freak out, its temporary) its a block for about 30-45 minutes, wait it out if you're in a popular place and it'll start working, when you jump next try to jump in less than 10 mile intervals. hope that helps!
ANYTHING ELSE NOT WORKING PROPERLY?
please do a complete uninstall and do a fresh install, redownload the bluestacks.
Some windows 7/8 users are experiencing issues catching pokemon. PLEASE DOWNLOAD CORRECT VERSION OF BLUESTACKS USING LINKS ABOVE!!
NONE OF THESE WORKING?
YOU PROBABLY NEED TO UNINSTALL/CLEAN DATA (BLUESTACKS) AND COMPLETELY DO A FRESH INSTALL.
