✓ Maple. Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 12

ode:=diff(x(t),t)+1/t^2*x(t) = 1/t^2; 
dsolve(ode,x(t), singsol=all);
 

\[ x = 1+{\mathrm e}^{\frac {1}{t}} c_1 \]

ode=D[x[t],t]+x[t]/t^2==1/t^2; 
ic={}; 
DSolve[{ode,ic},x[t],t,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
 

\begin{align*} x(t)&\to 1+c_1 e^{\frac {1}{t}}\\ x(t)&\to 1 \end{align*}

from sympy import * 
t = symbols("t") 
x = Function("x") 
ode = Eq(Derivative(x(t), t) + x(t)/t**2 - 1/t**2,0) 
ics = {} 
dsolve(ode,func=x(t),ics=ics)
 

\[ x{\left (t \right )} = C_{1} e^{\frac {1}{t}} + 1 \]
