In the recent builds, Windows 11 displays a weather widget on the left side of the taskbar when the taskbar is aligned center.

Clicking on the weather widget button brings up the Widgets panel. The weather widget button displays weather information for your current or set location.

The new weather widget, however, at times, does not show the weather information. Instead, as you can see in the picture above, it shows just the Widget icon.

If the weather widget is not working or not showing weather information as it should, you can try out the following four easy solutions to refresh the weather widget and force it to show the weather information again.

Method 1 of 4

    It only works when the taskbar is on the bottom of the screen for some reason. If you like your taskbar at the top, the weather feature is not available. No other apps or widgets seem to be available to fix this and Microsoft doesn’t care.
