Apps See Missed Notifications for Widgets in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to see details for the Widgets notifications you missed for your account in Windows 11.

Widgets in Windows are interactive elements that display dynamic content and provide quick access to various apps and features. You can view your location's current weather conditions directly on the taskbar and hover over the icon to see concise, scannable information on topics like sports, stocks, local news, and breaking headlines. Widgets are designed to help you staying informed and organized by presenting personalized information at a glance.

Widgets are displayed on the Widgets board, which contains a collection of cards, each representing a widget with relevant information and actions related to an app. On the Widgets board you can discover, pin, unpin, arrange, resize, and customize widgets to reflect your interests.

Widgets display weather information on the taskbar most of the time. When something important happens related to one of your other widgets of feeds, you might receive an announcement from that widget. These announcements are meant to be quick and glanceable. If you don't interact with them, the taskbar will return to displaying weather information.

A badge notification might appear on your taskbar for notifications that need to persist for longer than a few seconds, such as severe weather alerts or breaking news. When you open the Widgets board, a banner will appear at the top of the board providing more information on what triggered the notification badge.

Reference:

Starting with Windows 11 build 26058 (Canary and Dev) and build 22635.3212 (Beta), Microsoft is beginning to roll out a new badging experience for Widgets. Widgets badges will notify you when you miss an important notification on your taskbar. When you open the Widgets board you can see details for the notifications you missed in the top left corner of the board under Missed insights.

If you do not have the new notification badging for Widgets (Missed insights) feature yet in the Canary and Dev channel, then you can enable them using the command below with the ViVeTool app.

vivetool /enable /id:48064775

Here's How:

1 Open Widgets (Win+W) when you see a notification badge on the Widgets taskbar button. (see screenshot below)

Below is an example of a notification badge for Widgets that shows that there are three missed notifications.

2 You will now see details for the notifications you missed in the top left corner of the board under the Missed insights section. You can click/tap on a notification to open it. (see screenshot below)



That's it,
