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?

    Thanks for your reply … my GC was updated … I’m using Lenovo Thinkpad and Lenovo Vantage keeps everything up to date …

    Widgets came back to work for unknown reason anyways

    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.

    Screenshot is in Dutch, sorry, but here's where I found my driver to search for (on the Intel website in my case).

    Open Windows Explorer and right click This PC on the left side.
    Choose Properties, showing some System Info.

    Scroll down and choose Device management (?, in Dutch Apparaatbeheer ;-))
    Here you should be able to find your video adapter.

    Success @eddiesq

    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!
