Windows 11 - accidentally removed Widgets
When I first upgraded to Windows 11 the Widgets app didn't work, and to cut a long story short, while troubleshooting I managed to completely remove Widgets from my PC.
It's not just disabled - i.e. I've checked my Personalisation > Taskbar settings and it's no longer there.
It's 100% gone.
Does anybody know if it's possible to re-install the Widgets app?
- No, still no luck. I’ve tried a complete reinstall of the operating system and even that didn’t bring it back - baffling!
- Yup that's done it, thanks!
I tried that. It did bring the widgets back but still the add/remove option is not there. I cannot add any widgets the button is gone that was once there. I get the local weather and hundreds of different news articles. I take them away but more just populate. I even uninstalled the news from add/remove from system. Im logged into my MS account but to the top right where the 3 circles are give me no options other than change interests and shows im logged into my account. Changing the interests does nothing either.
