Widgets dies and won't open
[I've seen other posts related to this issue but they were all referencing an older preview version. This is the production version 21H2 22000.318) just installed on a fresh system, clean install.]
Basically, an attempt to open widgets, results in no widgets displaying and then I'm able to even display the window. Specifically, here's the steps:
- Click on "widgets" on task bar. The widgets window opens and attempts to get info, displays 2nd window and attempts to get info, then disappears.
- Click on "widgets" on the task bar again and nothing happens, no windows appear at all.
- Now, press Win+W and I get a repeat of step #1 -- exactly the same behavior.
- If I press Win+W again, and I get nothing. No windows at all.
If I reboot Windows, it will again be able to display the windows but I get the exact same issue in the exact same sequence as above; i.e., no widgets display and then I can't even open the widgets window.
