Within the last week or so, the Traffic widgets in Windows 11 are reporting updates are unavailable. Has anyone else run into this issue or perhaps know what is needed to fix it?

I've already checked to make sure Location Privacy Settings has Start Experiences App enabled.

Yes, you are not alone; traffic widget was back on yesterday for an hour or so.
It quickly disappeared again, probably due to exhaustion.

Note: The Windows build number is not relevant here as most of the load is handled by the Windows Web Experience pack which varies with builds.

There was an update to Start Experiences App this morning, and now the Traffic widget has disappeared completely. It no longer appears as an option.

Update to the latest Start Experiences App and Windows Web Experience Pack, and the Traffic widget should come back.

Incorrect.

Web Experience Pack, Start Experiences App and Widgets Platform Runtime are all updated from the MS store.
Traffic widget does not work in any environment whether being Dev, Canary or Beta for me.

Oh, it's back to not working again. Worked a few days ago.
Oh well, at least the widget shows up now.
