Please post windows version and build.
Please post explorer patcher version.

Check what happens when using the console in explorer patcher. Open up the properties application for explorer patcher, go to advanced, and click on enable console. Then try to access the weather widget.

That is a preview update: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/july-26-2023-kb5028254-os-build-22621-2070-preview-66161ea6-c106-43e9-bef5-8410ccbd34e8

Uninstall it if you want to use explorer patcher and don't install preview updates in the future: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/wiki/Symbols

Was unaware I had previews installed (Until you pointed this out!) so checked and Windows has installed a few, on odd occasions.. and NO! did not click to install them.. (that I was aware of)
