Widgets are nothing new.

00:00:04

It was an interface.

00:00:05

So foreign news,

00:00:06

mainly in the form of articles

00:00:08

according to your preferences,

00:00:10

but not removable.

00:00:11

Far from being anonymous,

00:00:12

Microsoft had never stopped

00:00:13

making changes to obtain

00:00:15

a more creative version in

00:00:17

Windows 11. They are enabled by default

00:00:19

and take less space on your screen.

00:00:22

You can spot it on the

00:00:23

left side of your taskbar.

00:00:25

However, you can now disable

00:00:26

it in the taskbar settings.

00:00:27

Click to turn it off or on.

00:00:30

Remember that to set up this feature,

00:00:32

you don't need to sign in

00:00:34

with the Microsoft account.

00:00:38

Once logged in, click the plus at the

00:00:40

top right to open the widget settings.

00:00:42

This small menu allows you to add

00:00:44

widgets as a frame in the widget panel.

00:00:47

For example, if I had the weather widget,

00:00:49

I would have a framework exclusive to that.

00:00:54

If you're not pleased with the

00:00:56

topic suggested, you can click on

00:00:58

manage interests to open a web page

00:01:00

with more complete recommendations.

00:01:07

Or you can act directly on an article in

00:01:10

the widget panel thanks to the pointed

00:01:13

line located at the bottom of an article.

00:01:16

The use of widget is completely optional,

00:01:18

but it allows you to quickly access

00:01:20

information if you take the time

00:01:22

to set up this feature being close

00:01:24

to an information monitoring.
