While the timeline for this feature rollout remains uncertain, sources suggest that Windows 11’s widgets will be a focal point at Microsoft’s Build 2023 conference in May. This dedicated session indicates that Microsoft might share more details about the desktop widget functionality during the event. If so, users could expect to see the feature being tested in Windows 11 in the near future.
This development follows Microsoft’s recent introduction of a new widget in testing – Facebook. The company appears to be investing efforts into expanding the widget ecosystem and encouraging developers to implement widgets for their apps. The potential to move widgets to the desktop represents a significant enhancement to the Windows 11 interface and could resemble the popular gadgets seen in Windows 7.
