After updating to 23.00, the GPS in the watch no longer works.
In any activity, the satellite search progress bar simply stands still. I tried to give it more time, but after 3 hours in this mode, nothing changed

try switching to GPS only, GPS+GLONASS or GPS+GALILEO
restart etc...

see if you calibrate the altimeter as well

Open your System -> About page on the watch. What does it say after 'GPS:' and 'CPE:'? (You need to scroll through some pages to find the info)

Sync your watch and put it outside and give it some more time.

I updated to 23.00 yesterday evening. After that, I immediately went out on the balcony to check the GPS because I remembered your problem. I did not start an activity, but only checked the GPS status in the activity start page. It was fully red all the time, not the growing red cycle that I expected. Sometimes it seemed as it flashed green for a split second. I then connected it to Garmin Express and synced it again. After disconnecting, it showed another small update on the watch, which I installed. Then I restarted the watch. On the following day I went outside and started an activity. The GPS fixed in around 10 seconds then.

No idea if it was only a coincidence. But maybe it can help in your case as well.
