Workshop
Create the perfect widget setup
What you need: Windows 11
Time required: 30 minutes
O
ne thing we weren’t expecting in Windows 11 was for widgets to become so useful, rather than annoying desktop clutter as in Windows 10 and earlier. They’ll be even better once Microsoft brings back the Outlook and Calendar widgets it removed recently. There are several ways to locate widgets – click the icon at the far left of your taskbar, swipe in from the edge of your screen, or press Windows key+W. If the taskbar widget button isn’t visible, enable it by opening Settings (press Windows key+I) then clicking Personalisation followed by Taskbar. Here, switch on the slider next to Widgets.
