Lost weather "widget" after factory reset I was having some hardware trouble with my Pixel (not resolved, but that's another issue). I ended up doing a factory reset.

Now, however, my home screen time/weather information. Instead of the date, time and (when available) weather showing at the top of the first screen with an abbreviated search field (see image below)



The above is what it should look like. Now, that "widget" is gone, and the search field takes up the whole top line of the screen.

There are no updates for the Pixel Launcher for me in the Play Store (and, in fact, no buttons to go with it).

I've tried force-stopping the Pixel Launcher app.

If there's a setting for this I can't find it.

Any ideas?
Have you tried the steps from Scrapshark's reddit post?



Also, I'm reading that this problem could be the result of the Pixel launcher losing its location permission, so you should check if it still has that by following the steps in Google's help article under the section called Turn permissions on or off.
