About the widgets issue, I could solve the problem via the terminal.
First, I disabled the dashboard
— open up a Terminal and paste this in:


After, I re-enabled it, using this:


Everything is now working for me. I hope it will help.View attachment 2056347
Dashboard!!!?? What is this nonsense? It was deleted in Catalina!
 
That setting is missing from my System Settings ("File Vault" is directly beneath "Allow apps downloaded from...").
It's not there for me, either. I've not tried to connect any external drives (apart from a NAS, which works fine).

I'll dig out a USB drive, connect it, and see if that triggers the option to appear.

Aha. I have an Intel MBA.
 
Yesterday I installed public beta 6. It addressed my biggest gripe in Ventura. Now working with multiple windows, if I choose to temporarily save a window clicking on the top left yellow button, that window moves to the bottom right on the dock (like in pre-Ventura). In earlier Beta versions, those saved windows irritatingly joined the working icons on the left side of the display.
 
I know it doesn’t work for everybody, I read the thread.. I just think being arrogant about it like the user above doesn’t bring any value to the conversation that’s all :)
They weren’t being arrogant here, just pointing out that there’s no more Dashboard (RIP). But, as is usually the case, leftover code remains. So, everybody’s right. Hey! Alright!
Moving on…

For those of you that were able to get your Widgets working again after those Terminal commands, do the Widgets continue to work after a reboot? I would assume the issue would remain and then running both commands would “fix” it again then? I’m hoping we get the installer file soon so we can create USB installers. I’d feel better about the current state of macOS after a clean install.
