windows 10 taskbar wheather icon jumping

Question

Hi.
I've noticed by four different clients that the wheather widget starts jumping left and right and then taskbar is blocked.
The problem can be resolved temporary by pressing Ctrl + Esc or restarting Explorer.exe process. But randomly the problem starts again.
I've checked the event viewer and a 1002 event is showed referring to Explorer.exe hang.
I've tried to update to version 22h2 from 21h1 o 21h2 and do sfc /scannow. The problem persists.
There aren't any connection between four pc's, then I believe may be a problem with an update or something else.
I'm looking for recent information about the problem but all I found is too old.

Someone with the same problem????

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sorry!
I've recieved no answer and I haven't found nothing about this problem.
All I know is that explorer.exe process is guilty.
The last I tried yesterday is update Windows to 22H2, sfc /scannow and update vga drivers. I don't know if it works. I'll wait for a few days and come back with the results.

2. Do a Clean Boot.
3. Open CMD window as Admin, run the command below: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Answer 5

Hello there,

When you say there is no connection do you mean physically? Do you have any GPO applied to all the computers it seems the version is not the issue as you have tried updating the device.

Can you check if you have any application on all the devices which might be the cause for this issue?

You can use some of the tools to identify the reason for this behavior.
Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry, and process/thread activity. You can get the tool from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

System Monitor (Sysmon) is a Windows system service and device driver that, once installed on a system, remains resident across system reboots to monitor and log system activity to the Windows event log. You can get the tool from here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon
