So I'm fairly new to Chromebooks in general so it's entirely possible I'm missing something.

However out of the blue my widgets in the Glancables view no longer show up.

I've tried all basic and advanced troubleshooting to no avail. I've tried switching to stable. I've tried beta and Dev channels.

I'm open to all options!

Try updating Chrome OS, resetting the widgets in Glanceables, and clearing the cache in Settings > Privacy and Security.

Hi Sarah!

We did try resetting the widgets and a couple of other things. Not completely sure but we may have cleared the cache but will give it a shot when we get back!

So all of our efforts have equaled the same result. The widgets do not appear.

We have tried everything you suggested, all basic and advanced troubleshooting and power washing. There are no hardware issues that we can see.

We even tried making sure ad suggestion settings were all re enabled etc.

I'm open to other suggestions at this point. (Bluebird) (Stable / beta / dev)

Since I haven't heard a response back from anyone on this I'm going to assume the feature is vapor and doesn't actually work properly. ChromeOS seems very unreliable in general
