Windows 10: Lock screen not showing weather or other apps

I'm on Windows 10 Pro and the latest update version 20H2 for a month or 2 now. And up to date on all Windows Updates from what I see.

In Setting > Personalisation > Lock Screen

The Choose which app to show detailed status on the lock screen

I choose Weather.

On the Choose which apps show quick status on lock screen

I choose only Calendar, for now.

In the previous update these helpful details on the lock screen did show up. And was thinking to add more than just Weather.

But not after the latest update, they don't show up.

I log in with a pin every time I start my ThinkPad. If that even matters.

And for background I've put Windows spotlight. If this has any effect to fix that issue.

All these apps are updated. I check almost every day for updates in the MS store app. But they still don't show up.

I checked the Weather app permissions. Only the Location permission is off. But I don't know if this has any affect on the issue.

What changed and how to fix it?

Weather app on lock screen

Mhm. That other thread explains how to get (at least) the textual description of the weather app. Furthermore, the original author there wants to have more detailed weather information, as it was in Windows Phone 8.1. That is your question. Or don’t you
have that weather app listed all in All apps » Settings » Personalization » Lock screen » … show detailed status? In that case – that is not normal:

• Which phone model do you use?
• Please, remove the battery and post (just) your Product Code (059…), for phone models with battery built-in, that code is written underneath the SIM in the SIM tray.
