Hi,

Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

Open Windows PowerShell (admin) and run the command: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} ,

Ignore the errors in red.

Also check if you have any pending updates in the start menu > settings > windows update > check for updates.

Hi @Muhd Azreen,  

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. 

Based on your sharing, I see that you are encountering a system error related to WidgetService.exe regarding a stack-based buffer overrun. 

This error is typically associated with the Windows Web Experience Pack, which manages the Widgets functionality on your taskbar. It is important to note that the issue may happen from various causes, such as background service conflicts or corrupted local data, which is why I recommend starting with a few specific troubleshooting steps to identify the solution. 

I suggest performing these three initial steps: 

1/ First, please verify that your system is fully updated. Because you are running Windows 11 version 25H2, installing the latest cumulative updates is vital, as they often contain fixes specifically for memory handling errors in system applications. 

2/ Second, try resetting the component responsible for the error. 

• Open Windows Terminal with Administrator privileges and run this command:

    get-appxpackage MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience | remove-appxpackage
  

• After the command finishes, restart your computer and reinstall the Windows Web Experience Pack from the Microsoft Store to ensure the application files are fresh. 

3/ Third, run the system file repair tools to rule out OS corruption. 

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator and execute:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  

• Once that is done, run the command sfc /scannow. This will ensure all protected system files are in their correct state. 

Kindly update the outcome here so I can further check if the problem persists. I am here to assist if further steps are needed.
