It was introduced as one of the flagship features of Windows 11
and it is currently little exploited: the widget panel. It is currently limited to MSN news and weather forecasts or queries from Bing
.
However, the operating system may soon open up to third-party developers. This future support for new widgets will finally allow users to customize the panel according to their preferences.
Soon more widgets on Windows 11
At its launch, Windows 11 introduced its small batch of new features. Beyond its redesigned design for the occasion, the latest version of the OS also marked by its new Widgets pane that can be activated from the taskbar. Its potential remains untapped for the moment since it is impossible for users to add third-party widgets. However, Microsoft does not seem closed to the idea of opening this panel to other developers.
As indicated Windows Latest, new clues unearthed in Microsoft’s store rules point in this direction. The new documents confirm that the widgets panel will be significantly improved by allowing third-party developers to publish their own widgets, starting with the next major update, Windows 11 22H2. These will be downloadable from the Microsoft Store but not only. The documents indeed suggest that applications not listed on the store could also offer their widgets.

- Graphical redesign of the successful interface
- Improved Snap
- Effective anchor groups
To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the essentially graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
