I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to reproduce it, but I just hit the same state. This time my dashboard has all four basic widgets (cpu, memory, network, disk) and the issue didn't occur on startup. Instead it occurred when I returned to the dashboard screen after visiting others. Here's a screenshot of my dashboard and the Dev Home process in Task Manager.

The screenshot appears to not have captured the spinning "loading" indicator. You will have to take my word it is there.

Whoops, misunderstood where the logs were. The entire TempState is logs and I uploaded only a fraction. Here's the whole TempState directories

Thanks for the logs! I was just coming here to say that I saw similar behavior but apparently mine was due to a different scenario. From your logs, it looks like Dashboard isn't recovering from this error (pasted here so I can find again easily):

ERROR: Exception in SubscribeToWidgetCatalogEvents:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BA): The RPC server is unavailable.

The RPC server is unavailable.

Changing the name of this one, so I can differentiate from #2252
