Widgets don't work
I've just installed Windows 11 and it's so annoying. Messenger and WhatsApp apps do not work (that's a topic for another thread) and widgets work only if I disable the display driver and then turn it...

Resetting the apps is faster, but repair will retain the App's data (it's really up to you.)
Reset:
1.) Start Powershell -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope LocalMachine -Force
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"};
Get-AppxPackage | Reset-AppxPackage;
Reset / Repair Apps:
1.) Settings -> System -> Other troubleshooters -> Windows Store Apps (Run)
2.) Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Scroll To Bottom (Reset Default Apps)
3.) Settings -> Apps -> Apps & Features -> <Insert App Name Here> -> 3 Verticle Dots On The Right Side Of The Pane -> Advanced Options -> Repair
