Microsoft is preparing to let Windows 11 users install third-party widgets from the Store

Microsoft is preparing to let third-party developers use the Microsoft Store to create and distribute custom Windows 11 widgets. FireCube (@FireCubeStudios) spotted the upcoming feature in a widget manifest update Evidence of an upgrade (FireCube discovered a similar leak in January of this year).

Third-party products will make Windows Widgets space more useful in daily use. Currently, it only offers a few basic first-party widgets such as calendar, to-do list, photos from OneDrive, weather, traffic, and more. The lack of support from other developers makes Windows widgets look and feel half-baked and not ready for its prime time, especially compared to the rich widget ecosystem on iOS and Android.

You can access Windows widgets by pressing Win W, clicking the widget button on the taskbar, or swiping from the left edge of the screen. Microsoft also uses the lower left corner of the screen to display weather on the taskbar, and many users want the company to allow replacing weather with third-party options.

At the recent Windows 11 event, Microsoft also teased an updated Windows Widgets space with a full-screen UI, which will provide more screen real estate to accommodate all the third-party widgets from your favorite developers . That is, of course, if those developers are willing to develop widgets for Windows 11.
