Groove no longer controls over media keys and doesn't show a widget on the lock screen. What do?

[Windows Central Question]

Recently on my Car pc, Groove decided to stop all those handy features that made it feasible to be a car radio, such as the remote control over a bluetooth device or the lock screen widget. I believe it happened after an update. Any way to resolve that?

The best thing remedy for Groove issues that I've found is a soft reset.

To do a soft reset, simply hold down the power button until the phone vibrates and restarts itself.
