1] Update the Weather app
Most problems with an app from the Microsoft Store can be easily rectified with a simple update if one is available, so as it stands, that’s one of the steps one must always consider taking when attempting to fix the Weather app.
Launch the Microsoft Store, then from the top-right corner, click on the three-dotted button. From there, then, select Downloads and updates.
The final thing to do here is to click on the Get Updates button. This button will update all apps, including the Weather app. That should do the job, so go ahead and test if the Weather app is working again.
2] Use the Windows Apps Troubleshooter
To use the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter in Windows 11, you must use the Get Help app. Open the Get Help app on your computer, and type “windows store apps troubleshooter”. Then, go through the screen instructions as per the problem you are facing.
However, if you use Windows 10, you can use the in-built Windows Apps Troubleshooter through Windows Settings.

After opening the App section, click on App & Features and then search for the Weather app.
