Widgets option not available

Question

Hey everyone!

So I just updated to windows 11, and I'm facing a small issue. The widgets option has suddenly disappeared from the taskbar, and there is no option to enable it in the settings anymore either. I don't know how this happened because the option was there when I first updated, but after starting my device today, it had disappeared. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Hi,

Try doing a repair install. A repair Install keeps everything including Files and applications and reinstalls Windows.

Still nothing :(

Answer 3

In the search,

type powershell, right-click it and choose run as administrator.

Execute this command:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Answer 4

I didn't know about the N or KN versions, so I had to check. But mine is neither. It's the standard Windows 11 Home edition. And yes, the Edge webview2 runtime is installed.

Hi Shabbir,

I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.

Is the qualifying installation Windows N or KN editions?

Also, is Edge webview2 runtime installed on the machine?
