How to show weather only on Lock screen on Windows 11

• To show the weather on the Lock screen, open Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, then choose “Weather” in the “Widgets” section.
• Since widgets are configured by default, you’ll have to remove extra widgets to display only the weather information.

UPDATED 11/7/2024: On Windows 11, you can show only the weather information instead of the different widgets on the Lock screen, and in this guide, I’ll show you the steps to complete this configuration.

The Lock Screen has been receiving various changes, including the ability to manage the widgets that appear on the screen. By default, the experience shows up to four widgets, but if you’re not interested in the additional information, you can show only the weather.
