Thank you both, @Tyomy-kun and @gauze756! It looks like the winget issue is due to certificate pinning on Windows Store (more on that here: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/2879). Fortunately, it's easy to fix by adding the msstore domain storeedgefd.dsx.mp.microsoft.com to the exlusions list on Windows. Expect the fix in the upcoming release. As a temporary measure, you can add the domain to "Ignored Hosts" in the settings: image

The Windows weather/calculator bug requires some additional research. I'm getting the same blank page/"couldn't get new rates" error while using mitmproxy, so it doesn't look like the issue is specific to Zen. It might be due to Microsoft trying to prevent users from reverse engineering the publicly available APIs, but it's just a speculation. Either way, I've exhausted the ideas I had for debugging the problem, so for now this issue is probably going to be held until someone with more knowledge and/or perseverance comes along and helps with the fix.
