What do you do when widgets are not working on Mac?

If the weather widget stops working on Mac or any other third-party widget is not working on Mac, the very first solution is to restart the Mac. The widget issues with default apps are always fixed after updating and restarting the system. While the problem with the third-party applications could not be fixed, in that case, contact the App Developer and elaborate on the issue. However, before doing so, kindly update and restart the Mac.
