An aside - running 2 Apple Computer both were updated from Ventura 13.0 to Venture 13.0.1 and mine worked fine before and after the update in Ventura


1 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


2 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.


3 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.


4 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.


The application is free or paid from added features. 


It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

We can have a look at the report for possible issues and may have possible suggestions to resolve the issues.

1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drives from loading 


3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?


4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.


If still having issues after performing the above, please post back for more trouble shooting suggestions.

Thank you for the tip. I did reboot in safe mode… unfortunately, that didn’t work. So, I did a reinstall of Ventura… that didn’t work either. Hopefully 13.0.2 will fix this. It’s just annoying coz the widgets work fine on my 2015 MacBook Pro running Monterey.

Not sure of a 13.0.2 Ventura but do know there is a Beta 13.1 in testing and only available to Developers or Enrolled Beta Tester
