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?

    Reading a bit further in this topic, I found a possible solution by installing the latest video driver.
    Although Windows tells me I've the latest version and there's no newer driver available, I went to the Intel website (I have Intel UHD Graphics as video driver), downloaded the latest version (igfx_win_101.1069.exe) and installed it. Restarted my laptop and IT WORKED!

    So give it a try yourself, hopefully it solves your problem as well!

    How to find it

    You should have it in Apps & features or in Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features,

    right click it and select 'Change' and then 'Repair'

    Widgets seems to depend on a runtime library called "WebView2" which apparently is tied to Microsoft Edge.

    Make sure you have Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime installed
