Is the Weather Widget updated for the Lock Screen?
Is the Weather Widget updated for the Lock Screen?
I don’t notice anything on the Lock Screen at startup, except when I lock the device.
It seems everyone is mixing up two updates to the weather widget on the Lock Screen, both trying to look online.
There was an update in January 2024 that refined the widget inside a box, and from March 2024, even if you chose not to show it, the weather and other options appear.
I don’t have the weather and more option on my Lock Screen because it’s being rolled out in the US, but I think the January update should have been applied.
I wasn’t sure if anyone else still had the text version of the weather widget. If you had it set to none, you wouldn’t be able to see it at all. 😊
I just mentioned that I have the previous weather text on one device, while all others have a new design from January 2024.
I now realize that starting March 2024 Microsoft will add a ‘weather and more’ feature.
I’m asking if I should worry about having the old weather text still displayed.
I assume the weather widget's appearance is determined by the specific device being used. The device might not have been planned for the release, or the update could have encountered issues. For Windows devices, review the update history and confirm updates are active. If feasible, attempt a manual update to test.
It seems the rollout might be slow. I mentioned this before; updates aren't applied simultaneously to all users. The many Windows installs make it difficult. Updates are released in stages, possibly arriving in the coming weeks. It's similar to version updates—some get them immediately while others have to wait. My PC usually lags behind mine.
If an update fails, it will appear in the Windows Update history, and the update process should notify you on the main screen.
You can try these steps:
- Right-click Start
- Select Terminal (Admin)
- If it doesn’t open as PowerShell, click the drop-down arrow in the header and choose from the list
- Paste this command into the window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
- Press Enter
Then run:
SFC /scannow
Press Enter
If needed, restart your PC. The first command fixes files used by SFC and cleans system files. SFC is the System File Checker. The first command runs DISM.

Thanks, I’ve already executed those commands. Now I fully grasp how the Lock Screen design has evolved through detailed online coverage, and it appears to be part of a broader rollout rather than a specific update. Thanks for your assistance.
