If you’ve ever used Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you’re probably familiar with gadgets and widgets. The new OS widget, on the other hand, is not entirely based on the gadgets notion of Windows 7 or Vista.

The APIs for third-party widgets have yet to be discovered in the current preview or stable editions of Windows 11. As a result, we’ll have to wait a few weeks or months for the first third-party preview.

A new version of the Windows Web Experience Pack will be required for the third-party widgets capability. The developers will upload the widgets to the Microsoft Store.

Because Windows 11 relies on web experience packs for widgets, Microsoft will provide third-party compatibility for older versions of the OS.

More developers are expected to begin working with Microsoft on new widgets for Windows 11 before the summer of 2022, according to reports.

The Windows widgets board will be moved to the left side of the screen as part of the Sun Valley 2 upgrade, and users will be able to monitor weather updates on the taskbar.
