By setting Chrome as the default browser in both Chrome settings and Windows default app settings, you should ensure that Weather widget and other functionalities on Windows use Chrome for web-related tasks. If you encounter any issues or the Weather widget continues to use a different browser, you might need to check the specific browser settings within Windows or the Weather widget settings if there are any customization options available.
