I am currently running a Windows 10 Pro desktop machine (21H1, build 19043.1288) and cannot get the Weather app to display detailed status info on the lock screen. I have configured the appropriate settings in Settings > Personalisation > Lock Screen as follows:

enter image description here

I have set the default location in the Weather app's settings to my current location. The Weather app has no problem displaying the correct weather details when I launch it once logged in.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Are there any other settings I can check? I also find it suspicious that most apps in the lock screen list have grey icons, almost like they are disabled. Could this be a hint at some problem?

Right click anywhere on the TASKBAR (not in windows logo)

Select 'News and Interests' and select 'Show icon and text'

Enjoy.

I believe this option no longer works following one of the latest updates of Windows 10.

It is apparently easy to do in Windows 11. See

Also on windows 10 Go to search type in background apps and make sure that windows feature experience pack, Microsoft Store & Weather are all set to allow.

doing this aswell as what @A.V.M. Computers has said above will make them work. and show on the lock screen

Be sure to go to Settings > personalise > lock screen and make sure you have set the weather app to be displayed
