I had an experience very similar to a Big Sur issue: Seem to be missing a Weather App on macOS… - Apple Community
Several items in security and privacy/location services showed with a missing icon and an error message of missing app. Including weather.app.
By turning Location services off and then on again restored the icons. Unchecking the few orphans that remained (Avast) removed them.
Very much agree with my colleague @BDAqua on Third Party Security software >> Avast
Once this type of software is embedded in the Operating System
You can spend hours or days hunting down all the bits and pieces of this software and never really get it all off the computer
Start Over from Scratch
For Apple Silicon computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.
For Apple Intel computers >> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS
Always make a Time Machine Backup before proceeding
If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back.
This will probably Re-Introduce ( Avast Application ) back into the Operating System
Avast maybe the problem.:)
If I could ⬆️ twice I would
Monterey - Wonky location services fixed by toggle enable
