  1. How to fix W11 weather widget detecting wrong location?


    I am running W11 Pro 21H2 on my desktop pc. Recently, the weather widget has started to display the weather from the wrong location. It appears it thinks I am located in Athens Texas, when I am atually located in Seminole, FL. I tried to delete the Athens TX location in the weather widget, but it says it cannot be removed and that TX is my detected location WRONG!.My laptop on same network in my home office is running the same W11 Pro 21H2 and it is still running correctly and detects my location in FL as expected.How can I reset the weather widget app back to to run the way it was less

    :)

    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?

    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?

    w11 weather widget and news feed

    How can I just get the weather widget without the news feed? I've tried everything, I can think of, but I have been unable to figure out how I can just have the weather widget without all the news feed. I have no interest in the news feed at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
