Windows 10: Issues With Widgets Since Windows 11 24H2 Update

Since updating to Windows 11 24H2, upon startup, the widgets pane opens up by itself and there is a temporary black box around the widgets icon on the taskbar which disappears after a few seconds. Is there an explanation for this because I don't want the widgets pane opening on start up? It seems to slow down other startup apps and delays complete startup by a few seconds. Other than disabling widgets in settings which I haven't tried yet, is there any way to prevent this? Thank you.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

There are no currently listed problems resetting version 24H2 of Windows 11 and no specific steps you need to perform, are you experiencing any problems with that insider build that is causing you to perform a Windows reset?

 

Windows 11 Moment 3 latest Spotify Widget issue

It's only happening on Spotify Widget Jen. It says that "We're having trouble loading this content. There could be something happening on our end. Reload this widget to try again." With a reload button to reload it. But after pressing the reload button it is still a blank page of the Spotify widget. And I tried all the troubleshooting steps.
