RE: Where did my sidebar go? [Windows 7] | Posted at 12:19 PM

If you noticed that your sidebar will not start or doesn't work anymore there may be a simple solution.

If you have the Logitech camera software installed, that is the culprit. To fix the issue simply:

  1. Click the "Change Settings" button.

  2. Click the Application Preferences button, then Settings under "Video Effects application support."

  3. In the list, remove "sidebar.exe" (I removed everything, as seen below).

  4. Restart your computer

That should fix it! I had the same problem and after doing this it finally worked.

If your sidebar isn't working and you don't have the Logitech cam software, I can't help you.
