Windows 10: How can I stop windows news & weather taskbar widget from automatically updating upon opening

I was looking for a way to stop the Microsoft news and weather taskbar widget from automatically refreshing every time I open it. I wanted to make it only refresh manually. The reason is, every time I open it, I see something I want to read but it immediately refreshes and I lose all of the articles it just showed me. This also happens when I return from reading one article and want to read the next one.

News and Weather widget won't open

Since yesterday the News and Weather widget has failed to open when I click on it. It does update the temperature and weather conditions, but it won't open to view the forecast and news. As far as I know I haven't changed any settings. Any suggestions? Thank you.

 

Weather location in taskbar does not match weather widget





I bought a Framework laptop and updated to Windows 11 a few weeks ago. I noticed the new weather section of the taskbar - and noticed that it's always wrong, showing the weather for some other, unknown location.

After looking up information online I updated the location for the weather widget. So when I view the widgets screen, the full weather widget shows the correct weather (for San Antonio - but the weather in the taskbar does not match. It appears to be using weather data for some other location.

How do I get the taskbar in sync so it uses the same location as the full weather widget?

 

Weather location in taskbar does not match weather widget

That did not fix the problem. And yes, I have rebooted.





It is incorrect to say that the problem is that the Weather app (seen on the right in the screenshot) is showing the wrong location.

The problem is that the weather widget that is embedded in the taskbar is incorrect.

As you see, I have three different weather reports. One is in the Weather widget in widgets view (opened via Windows + W). One is in the Weather App (which shows "Parkwood Maintenance, TX" instead of San Antonio, for some unclear reason). And in the lower left, you can see the weather report in the taskbar.

Apparently the weather widget in the taskbar much be controlled separately from the weather widget in the widget view and from the Weather app. But I don't know how to access the settings for the Weather widget in the taskbar. How do I fix it, so the taskbar shows the weather for the correct location?
