Weather WebView not getting permission to see the location so it cannot find the data.

Hi, long time user here.

Pretty much the title says it all and because of that I see this error:

And if i click reload it loads the google page where I could click to request permission but then three seconds later it resets.

The button is there to select precise location but I cannot press it

Is there anything I can do?

That usually is shown when google can't determine your location for weather. It is just a url that is being loaded by EP inside a browser window.

It can though, I just need to enable location permissions for the file. I just don't know where, because when I did this in edge directly I had to do the same thing

Location permission is for urls, and it uses google. So go to google using edge and enable location permissions from there.

I had the same problem but Google told me I had to activate location permissions on my mobile. And this is not my standard account for my mobile. Additional I don't want give permission for all the apps to see where I am.

At the end I deleted local data in the weather widget in the Explorer Patcher and - surprise - it started to work normally.
