Taskbar Widgets keep closing, won't stay open

I downloaded the full Win 11 ISO today from Microsoft and installed it on my desktop PC (over Win 10 Pro). I had been using my laptop for the Insider Preview Beta. Everything works OK on the Desktop PC install except the Widgets. When I click on the Widgets icon, it flys open and then closes right away. Rebooted a few times, removed and added Widgets from the Taskbar, but it still closes right away.

    Hope you can fix it.

    I found a program (that use to me on the microsoft site) called microsoftaccountdiagnostic.diagcab

    When I ran it, it found these issues, and says that it "fixed" it, but still have the problem.

    I went to

    https://account.microsoft.com/ 

    and it just lists this Desktop PC (once) and Laptop.

    I also saw this listed under "Sync your settings" an it says Your passwords won't sync until you Verify your identity on this device. I click on Verify and nothing happens.

    on the top of the page, can you click on manage and open this window?

    That is the Outlook Account (my last name) and I was able to delete it. But still doesn't fix the issue of my sam@..... MS account listed twice.

    maybe you need to go the the web portal and remove the device

    maybe the same device is listed multiple times with the same accounts
