Support for Windows Server 2022 (build 20348)

Specifically for the weather widget as it just doesn't show up (I have already installed EdgeWebview2). Deselecting and reselecting it does nothing. Another interesting thing is that the Cortana button doesn't show up in Server 2022 even if it's selected in ExplorerPatcher (it just doesn't show up either, not that it would do anything but still)

Cortana doesn't show because it is either disabled by policy, or simply not included, so toggling the registry setting would obviously have no effect.

The weather widget probably doesn't work because the People bar is not available in Windows Server, so yeah, it's got nothing to replace.

Cortana button shows if you run explorer.exe under the SYSTEM account (during the OOBE or by replacing sethc.exe with command prompt)

Maybe you should use Windows Ink Workspace instead of People bar (or make it a toggleable option) since that exists on Windows Server. It's useless on Server anyway.

Also cortana button sometimes shows for a split second when you set up a new user on Server 2022

Not true

... I don't have that at hand. Obviously it doesn't work because something's missing from there...

Same as People bar on consumer Windows. On my Windows 11 install I did not have Windows Ink showing, so I chose the People bar. There is always room for improvement, indeed.

Managed to get it working, will push an update soon. It's basically just the typical IsOS(OS_ANYSERVER) guarding.

WebView2 Runtime is installed automatically in the recent versions, that is if the people button is added there properly.

Enabled this in latest pre-release
