Unable to add widgets to computer

Secondary click (control click, right click) on the desktop and select edit widgets.

Add and customize widgets on Mac - Apple Support

Then please say more about 'nothing happens'. When does nothing happen? If you secondary click on the desktop, do you not see a menu appear? Is Edit Widgets missing from the menu? If you select Edit Widgets, does the widget panel not open? If you hover over a widget in the panel and click the green (+) button, does the widget not appear on your desktop? Or if all of that does work, do the added widgets not show up?

If it's the last one, make sure System Settings > Desktop & Dock is set to show them in the Widgets section.

So when I right click, the option is there. When I click on it the widget panel doesn’t show.

Everything in settings is setup to show widgets.

I’ve read other threads like this one:

In Tahoe my desktop widgets have disappea… - Apple Community

Which I’ve also tried…

What happens, exactly, when you normal click the TIME in the Menu Bar ?

When to click Edit Widgets another panel should appear listing the versus available Widgets

Drag the Widget(s) into the approbate space
