Windows 11 widget box appears empty
Good evening everyone,
I’ve been experiencing problems with my Windows 11 widget for the past few months. When I click on the icon in the taskbar, it just displays a blank screen.
I’ve tried turning the widgets on and off in the settings, reinstalling them using CMD, and even reinstalling Webview.
Additionally, Webview isn’t available in the Windows Store app—it only appears in the web browser store. When I click the download button from the browser, it takes me to the App Store, but when I go back to the home screen, it doesn’t appear.
I’ve also run DISM, SFC / Scannow, and confirmed my PC is up to date.
Here’s a picture of what the widgets tab looks like:

I've been facing problems with my Windows 11 widget for the past few months, especially when I click on the icon in the taskbar—it just shows nothing. If this happened after an update, you might want to check if a system restore before the update was available, and see if going back to that point helps.
I fixed it by downloading tweaking.com - Windows Repair and using the "all repair" option in safe mode. After backing up the registry and creating a system restore point. Once I restarted, the widgets taskbar icon worked well and my computer ran much smoother.
