Widgets on Windows 11 not opening at all
On Windows 11 (build 22000.120), the Widgets program does not open when I click on it. Nothing shows up on the screen, not even a blurry rectangle. The animation on the icon works, but that is it. I ...

OK, now this is strange. Today, Thursday Oct. 14, my widgets started working. Yesterday they did not work, but today when I checked it just after initial boot up, they work both with the icon and the hotkeys.
I have no idea what changed, as they did not work after Tuesday's update, but now they work correctly. The only change to my system was that yesterday my new UPS (APC external battery system) came in, and I hooked it up and installed the monitoring software from APC. I did not try the widgets after that until this morning, but doubt that was the fix.
Either way, I encourage anyone with this issue to check it today, as MS might have slipped in a quick fix I just didn't notice. Again, thanks to everyone that posted here, and I hope the widgets start working for you as well.

Estoy seguro de que lo arreglarán. Ojalá supiera por qué empezó a funcionar para mí, pero no lo sé. No pierdas la esperanza, sigue revisando y si empiezan a funcionar intenta recordar lo que podrías haber cambiado, y publícalo aquí.- Andres_parraOct 17, 2021Copper ContributorGuys I found the solution and I work Widgets and teams, what they have to do is open office look for it open it put your account if you do not have it and it will open widgets and Microsoft teams, it is very easy apparently what happens is that when starting from scratch with Windows 11 they have to open office to start widgets and teams so I see these things are united, I hope it serves them, at least to me it has worked hopefully and serve them keep me up to know if you have worked BYE 😊 (if you have doubts just write me)
