Widgets Gone :(

[Jimbo50]

I'm probably the only one who likes widgets in Windows 11 22H2. For some reason the icon on the taskbar is generic, however when I hover over I see the word widgets.

Troubleshooting to date:
Taskbar - turned widget icon on and off
Made sure i'm logged on to Microsoft account
Have the latest Nvidia driver (enabled and then tried disabled)
My default web browser is Edge
Tried installing Microsoft Edge WebView2 tells me it's already installed
I do NOT see Windows widgets in task manager-not sure why

I have no idea what else to do. Any suggestions?

Here's how I got them back. Using Powershell, entered at prompt: winget uninstall "Windows web experience Pack".
Downloaded the pack from Microsoft store (https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9MSSGKG348SP)

Tried your solution, did not work. Actually, I tried every suggested, including changing the display driver, solution, still not working. The icon looks like the weather icon and Windows Widgets does not exist in Task Manager. I have even installed the upcoming Beta windows 11 version. We know it is a bug in windows 11, buy you would think Microsoft engineers would find a solution! Embarrassing situation, shame on you Microsoft!
