Windows 10: Windows 11 Weather Widget Won't Update Automatically

I purchased a new laptop about four weeks ago and the weather widget has never worked. I have tried all the suggestions online, and I even had the Microsoft Technical Support staff try to fix the problem. The MS support rep was given full access to my laptop online and he spent 1.5 hours trying every possible way to find a solution to this problem to no avail. It is currently stuck on 70 degrees F Sunny and won't update unless I restart my laptop; then it will stick again to the current temperature and not change. All of the suggestions online like checking the location, repair, reset in S

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.
