Hi, tested on 4 different pcs, windows 10 and Windows 11, and the News App (Microsoft News) has issues. Even uninstalled the app and reinstalled, refuses to work. Also noticed in Edge when opening a new tab, the weather and traffic locations are incorrect, they are set to Seattle, if I change this to my location, save and close and reopen the tab it goes back to Seattle. Something odd going on., Everything used to work.

Hopefully something simple like that. At least I know it's just not mine so well wait a bit vs trying to troubleshoot it. I haven't gotten any store app updates since like 21 Dec on both PC's so starting to worry about that now. They say apps are up to date.

That's a bit crazy.....are they giving different versions to different parts of the world? Your Windows version is the standard version and not an Insider so why is your News (albeit kinda broken) in front of mine?

Mine updated when I tried to open it and gave me this version.....

FYI, one PC shows your version, the other the higher version # I posted. That PC is on the Beta Insider program so guessing that's the reason for higher build number although its still the same build of Windows 22000.376

I thought any kind of Insider build of Windows 11 would have a version number in advance of the current standard version of 22000.376....
Anyway the weather stays put here to what I set it to in Edge. I wonder what happens to your weather in News (which you can set)?

That 22000.376 came out as a beta about a week before it was released to everyone with the same number. My weather works fine in the news app, haven't checked Edge as I rarely use Edge.

OK. The weather part was aimed at the original poster in SA who said that theirs would not stay set to their chosen location.
