![]() Widgets is a controversial feature in Windows 11. It would be ironic if Microsoft would launch the feature in the near future and remove the entire Widgets interface again in Windows 12 or another upcoming version of Windows 11. ![]() Gadgets would display hardware information, music player controls, photos, and other bits on the desktop directly. Gadgets were popular on Windows 7 especially. The change could improve the visibility of Widgets, considering that information is then displayed on the desktop, which removes the need to activate the Widgets panel. Microsoft has not confirmed the feature nor has it been introduced in any of the Insider builds that are available currently. Microsoft hopes, according to Windows Central, that the new option to pin widgets improves the engagement with widgets. Widgets pinned this way may be placed everywhere on the desktop according to the report. Users would be able to pin their favorite widgets to the desktop, so that they are displayed all the time on the desktop. All widgets are limited to a place in the widgets panel currently, but this could change soon.Īccording to Windows Central, Microsoft considers adding an option to Windows 11's Widgets feature to pin widgets to the desktop. Windows 11 features a Widgets panel that users may activate to display news, weather information, stock market news, sports scores and now also third-party widgets. A report by Windows Central suggests that Microsoft is working on bringing the prime Windows 7 gadgets functionality back in some way. Microsoft did retire gadgets in Windows 8, stating that they were security risks.
