Mini Clubman power window issue after battery change

My 2021 Mini Clubman diesel presents an issue: the power windows are inoperative following a vehicle battery replacement. The error memory indicates a window regulator initialization failure. Has anyone encountered this, and what remedial actions were effective?

Summary of the thread

A 2021 Mini Clubman experienced inoperative power windows following a battery replacement, with an error indicating a window regulator initialization failure. The issue was not resolved by checking fuses or attempting a manual reset via the window switch. The solution required professional intervention at a workshop, where the window regulator was reinitialized using diagnostic tools, resolving the problem.

I had something similar happen in my Clubman after a battery swap. Power windows went completely dead. Did you check the fuses? Sometimes it's a simple fix. Also, try holding the window switch in the up position for a few seconds after it's fully closed. I've heard that can sometimes reset the window controls. Is the window switch itself functioning properly?

Fuses appear intact following a visual inspection. The 'hold switch' method was attempted without success. When you say 'similar', are we talking about a complete regulator initialization failure, or just erratic window operation?

Yes, complete failure. No response whatsoever from the window controls. I tried everything I could find online, but nothing worked. Ultimately, I had to bite the bullet and take it to a workshop. They reinitialized the window regulator using their diagnostic tools. Seems like the car electronics sometimes need a proper reset after losing power.

Appreciate the input. As suspected, the local garage confirmed window regulator initialization failure post battery replacement. Car electronics can be finicky. Repair cost came to 290€. Resolved.
