Can't enable location services (Big Sur)

I want to enable Location services on my Mac mini (macOS 11.1) in Security & Privacy > Privacy > Location Services, but after restart, the services are disabled again and again.

I change these settings via admin user and tried reinstall the OS already.

Any suggestions?

Mac mini, macOS 11.1

Yes, the issue continues even after reinstalling Big Sur 11.2 from the recovery disk.
