kiddingguy Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 My Windows Widgets screen has gone blank since several days. Also, the temperature is not shown, and some latest news snippets. I thought it was the recent W11 update, but that's not the case (on another computer it's still working). I do see that the Windows Widget process is not running. Multiple attempts have been made by me, e.g. reinstalling Microsoft Edge WebView2, re-installion of Windows Web Experience Pack, turning on and off the Widgets via Taskbar. Nothing worked. What can be the case here? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1449297-widget-screen-is-blank/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know that the Widget service hasn't started, but you don't know its name? Start a new process from Task Manager, selecting "run new task" and entering the process name. I think that is about as much as I can help. I don't use Windows often anymore, and I don't use their widgets. EDIT: Also, using PowerShell you want to look for the following package: MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience Remove that and put it back again, see if that helps.
