https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S26/Buds-Widget-with-aftermarket-launcher/m-p/3510779#M5350 I’ve seen this happen with some third-party launchers. It’s usually related to how they handle widget permissions and configuration activities.<BR />You can try switching back to One UI Home to complete the widget setup first, then return to your launcher. Also make sure all permissions are granted and the apps are fully updated.<BR />Not a perfect fix, but this workaround helped in my case.
