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.

2021-10-20T13:21:11+00:00 I appreciate your help.
Two months ago I did a drive clone from my Win 10 SSD to a regular HDD, so now I cloned it back to see.
After the clone-back, it still has my Microsoft account listed twice, won't allow me to delete them, and the Validate button doesn't work.
So my only other option would be to get my Win 7 SSD (that I haven't used in over a year), clone that back to my main SSD, and then do a (current) Win 10 build install/upgrade over the Win 7. And see if that fixes the issue with Windows having my MS Account listed twice and won't allow it to log in.

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

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.
