New features coming to Windows 11 widgets

Windows 11 continues to improve widgets experiences with additions to widget viewing options, badging, and layout.

• Adjust widgets taskbar settings for badging, rotation, and hover: you can control whether widget notifications appear on your taskbar through the widgets settings. Select the profile icon in the top right corner of the widgets board and use the toggles to adjust your notification settings.
• Updates to the header, margins, and greetings: you might see some different positions for the widgets board header. The new layout aims to bring consistent, clean, and accessible icons to communicate action and features with simple visuals.

To get this updated feature, you should update the Windows Web Experience Pack from the Microsoft Store. This occurs automatically for most devices.

Please note, if you have installed the latest quality updates for Windows 11, versions 21H2 or 22H2, but still don’t see all the new widgets features, it might be because some are being made available over several weeks, and might not be available to everyone at once.
