Do this..

Stack Panel / Setting/

On your desktop panel, change your default settings for widget and check if your view navigation check box is checked..

Hummm...

Time ago (during the 7.6 beta cycle) i found a bug on 7.5 that make all widgets disapear like you describe but that was solved.. the bug was related with polygons with holes... you are having problems all the time? on a particular scene? or sometimes?

If your problem is only on a particular scene, it would be great count with that scene to make some tests and try to find what is causing that problem.

IF not..
Try to restart to default context... may that solve ...

Hope that helps..

This is a problem present in all scenes, new and old it is just not there, I have started in default context and still no widget. All my models still have their transform/rotate/scale widgets but that is it.

Maybe I will have to reinstall lol

It might be deleted in the LE, if you have tried any widget editing? I don't do much in that department myself - I'd open the LE and go to the widget context and screen grab that, and post for our experts to see what sort of widget set up you currently have. This might let them recommend a course of action to restore things to normal.


HTH!

Have you tried resizing the window frames?

I have this happen sometimes as well. Only way for me to bring back nav controller is to bring up a second 3d-view window (nav controller is in this one), dock the new 3d-view window alongside the exiting broken one, then delete the broken one. So you swap out the first one with second one. Then you end up with a 3dview and a nav controller again.

Not sure exactly what causes this, but is a known issue.

Thanks for you help guys, has been a while since I replied because Im back at University :-(

Anyway, I have tried all suggestions though I dont know where to find the 'widget context' menu in the LE because I rarely use it, I couldnt have changed anything.

I have even tried reinstalling and have no difference.

If I open a new 3D window or even go to 4 view I see no navigation widget, I really could do with some help lol because Im keen to learn some of the new 7.6 features
