What are widgets
With so many things competing for your attention, staying focused on the task at hand can feel like a challenge. If you're keeping tabs on the stock market or a favorite sports game during your productive hours, you may be tempted to check you phone or open a new app on your computer. Instead, get content from your favorite apps without navigating away from your work with Windows 11 widgets. Learn what widgets are and how to use widgets to stay organized and productive.
A widget is a small card that runs on your Windows 11 desktop and gives you quick access to a favorite app or feature. It can display dynamic weather information, news headlines, calendar appointments, sports scores, and more. Your personalized widgets are displayed in your widgets board, which you can find by hovering over or selecting the weather icon in your taskbar or selecting Windows logo key + W. Customize your widgets board to show you snippets of information you want at a glance with minimal interruption to your workflow.
