Windows 10: Windows 11 using the wrong weather widget

I recently reinstalled windows 11 and now it seems to be using I think the windows 10 or 7 weather widget instead of the more modern one, I'm not sure how to restore it to the stock windows 11 widget.Thanks,Jerad

Start Menu Weather Widget rapidly refreshing???

I sincerely apologize for any confusion. It seems I assumed incorrectly that you were using Windows 11. Allow me to provide you with the appropriate steps for Windows 10 instead:

1. Turn Live Tile On
   
   • Right-click the weather tile, go to More, and select Turn Live Tile On. Ensure that the Weather app is allowed to run in the background by going to Settings > Privacy > Background Apps and turning on the Weather app.
     
2. Update Location Settings
   
   • Sometimes updating the location settings can help. Open the widget, change the location to something else, and then revert it back to your actual location.
     
3. Restart Windows Explorer
   
   • Open Task Manager, find Windows Explorer, right-click on it, and select Restart. This can refresh the taskbar and widgets, potentially resolving the issue.
     
4. Reset or Reinstall the Weather App
   
   • You can try resetting the Weather app through its settings or uninstalling and then reinstalling it from the Windows Store.
     
5. Check Location Services
   
   • Ensure that location services are enabled for your device and that the Weather app has permission to access your location. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location and make sure the necessary settings are enabled.
     
6. End Task on Widgets.exe
   
   • As a temporary workaround, you can end the task for widgets.exe in Task Manager. This will refresh the widget and may stop the rapid refreshing for a few days.
     

Additional Tips

• Keep Windows Updated: Ensure that your Windows 10 is up to date as updates often include bug fixes.
  
• Report the Issue: If the problem persists, consider reporting it through the Feedback Hub to help Microsoft identify and address the problem in future updates.
  

Please do let me know if the method I suggested works for you or if you need further assistance.
