Log Out of User Account
There are times when a corruption error or a temporary bug infects your operating system, preventing several features from working properly.

Another fix for the weather widget issue that worked for quite a few affected users was installing the cumulative update KB5010414 on their Windows 11.

Clean Install Windows
If you have come this far without a solution and still cannot see the weather widget, then it is safe to say that the corruption error causing the problem cannot be resolved using the simpler, conventional methods. In case this scenario is applicable, the only viable solution that can help you is clean installing your Windows 11. During a clean install, your old operating system will be eliminated, as well as all your programs, settings, and personal data. Following this, Windows 11 will be installed fresh with the latest feature update, thus resolving the error in the process.
