Adam power window reset

I'm having an issue with my 2018 Vauxhall Adam, gasoline engine. After replacing the battery, the power windows won't operate. It's throwing an error related to the window regulator initialization. Seems like it's forgotten its settings. Any ideas on how to get these working?

Sounds familiar! I've got a Vauxhall Corsa and I had something similar happen after my battery died. Have you tried any kind of window reset procedure? Maybe holding the window switch down for a few seconds after it's fully closed? Or even the other way around?

Thanks for the tip! I've tried holding the button in both directions, up and down, for extended periods, but nothing seems to be happening. Is there a specific sequence or a trick to it? Maybe a fuse I should check? I'm not sure if the Corsa's window controls are similar.

Okay, if the simple reset isn't working, chances are the regulator needs to be properly re-initialized using diagnostic equipment. I ended up having to take mine to a workshop that had the right software to do it. The garage sorted it out pretty quickly though.

Took your advice and brought it to a local garage. The window regulator needed to be re-initialized via their diagnostic tool, just like you said. Cost me 290€, but at least the windows are working again. Thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction!
