Widget feature missing in Windows 11

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?

    I just turned on my pc and widgets button was there... I don't know if it was fixed through an update or else.

    For those who are using Windown 11 N, can you confirm that installing the latest updates fixes definitely this issue?

    I have exactly the same problem: When I click on the Widgets Icon, the cursor changes to a spinning blue circle for a second or two , and then nothing happens.

    I have a similar problem with the "Teams " Icon. There it asks to come back later to configure the button.

    running Windows Pro version 22000.71

    Thanks for reporting, I too had Windows 11 Pro N

    MS said that this has not to do with N releases. I suggest sending the feedback link below this tweet.
