Only tasks from your personal account appear in the widget, and you can pin only one list - not the multiple ones you might have in Windows 10.īut the thing that has had me boycotting Windows 11 until now is the one widget you can’t turn off: the News widget that thinks I care about the UK royal family, Premier League soccer, celebrities who call their kids spoiled, or the latest manicure shape for your nails.
Infuriatingly, the same goes for the To Do widget.
To get those in Windows 11, I must put up with the major disadvantages of the new Widget bar.įor starters, what should be a really useful widget showing the next meeting in my calendar works only for my personal Hotmail address, not the Microsoft 365 Outlook calendar I use for all my meetings. I rely on Live Tiles in the Start menu for Microsoft To Do and Mail for getting reminders of what I need to pay attention to seeing a favorite photo on the tile for the Photos app often cheers me up. I want to be able to mute system volume or change Wi-Fi networks with a single click from the taskbar, not wade through an entire mini control panel when I’m in a hurry. There are rumors that a future update to Windows 11 will let you put the taskbar at the top of the screen again, but I care much more about the taskbar controls.
