Hello,

it seems that "Widgets" feature hadn't been properly installed with Windows 11 for me, because there is no option to add it to the taskbar and Win+W keys doesn't work.

I already tried re-registering apps using powershell, without results.

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

    Uninstalling "Windows Web Experience Pack" using Powershell and reinstalling it from the Microsoft store fixed the issue for me:

    1. Open PowerShell as admin
    2. Type the following command and hit enter: winget uninstall "windows web experience pack"
    3. Type "Y" when prompted
    4. Reinstall the pack by grabbing it from the Microsoft Store: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9MSSGKG348SP
    5. Go to taskbar settings, the Widgets switch should be there, disable it and enable it again
    6. That's it! Widgets icon should appear in your taskbar.

    Thanks for this solution. How do you go about finding what is the correct driver for your computer on the intel site?

    The easiest way is to download and install Intel® Driver & Support Assistant (Intel® DSA)

    Finds, downloads and updates any Intel driver automatically.
