My windows taskbar widget that shows the weather, news and other things does not work. I tried killing and restarting the process, reinstalling the web experience pack, repairing edge, dism and sfc scan, my system is up to date, but still nothing. It just shows this little thing, and, when i click it it just flips around.

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum!
It sounds like the Windows 11 taskbar weather widget, part of the Widgets panel, is not functioning. I understand this must be frustrating, and I'm here to help you resolve this.
Here is a step-by-step solution to troubleshoot Windows 11 Weather Widget error, please kindly follow:
1. Fully Reset the Widgets System
- Open PowerShell as Administrator
- Run the following to uninstall the Web Experience Pack
winget uninstall "Windows Web Experience Pack" - Reboot your PC
- Reinstall it from the Microsoft Store: Windows Web Experience Pack
2. Reinstall Microsoft Edge WebView2:
- The Widgets panel relies on Edge WebView2 to render content.
- Visit the Microsoft Developer website > download and install the “Evergreen Bootstrapper” for Edge WebView2: Microsoft Edge WebView2
- Restart your PC and test the widget.
3. Clear Widget Cache
- Open File Explorer and go to:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState - Delete the folder named Feeds
- Restart your PC
4. Check Location Permissions
- Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location
- Ensure Location Services is enabled
- Scroll down and allow location access for Widgets

Thank you for updating on the issue!
After having done my suggested solutions, was it resolved? Also, the "feeds" folder could be named "LocalCache" of "TempState".

I'm sorry that the issue still persists.
After all steps done, you can consider an In-Place Repair for Windows (In-Place Upgrade)
1 - Download the ISO
- Go to Microsoft’s official site and download the Windows Media Creation Tool.
- Use it to create an ISO file for your Windows 11.
2 - Prepare Your System
- Disable or uninstall third-party antivirus software.
- Ensure at least 30 GB of free disk space.
- Disconnect unnecessary USB devices.
3 - Mount and Run Setup
- Double-click the ISO to mount it, then run setup.exe.
- Choose Keep personal files and apps when prompted.
- Follow on-screen instructions to complete the repair.
4 - Post-Repair
- Re-enable antivirus and reconnect peripherals.
- Check for Windows Updates to ensure everything is current.
I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Please keep me informed.
Best regards,

2025-08-07T01:35:02.8+00:00 Thank you for updating me with that information. I recommend uninstalling translucentTB since you are no longer using it.
Press Start then search Installed apps
Find translucentTB, click 3 dots next to it then select Uninstall
Restart your computer
