This should not be the only option.
However, Microsoft should keep both left and right-opening options and not replace one with the other.
Widgets in Windows 11 will be far more customizable with these simple changes.
To open it, you’re free to hover your mouse over the Widgets icon.
A mouse hover is arguably the simplest method of displaying the Widgets panel.
However, it can be inconvenient at times.
The Widgets icon is placed right beside theStartbutton in the Taskbar.
Windows 11 can offer a clickable Widgets icon in the taskbar as an alternative to mouse hover.
However, not everyone wants to be a news junkie.
Either way, Microsoft should add the ability to turn off the news article section.
Add More Widgets to the Widgets Board
Microsoft recently added support for third-party widgets in Windows 11.
Companies like Meta and Spotify have already introduced their widgets to the operating system after Microsoft added third-party support.
Unfortunately, there is no other way.
Microsoft can fix this by adding the ability to pin widgets to the desktop or lock screen.
Meanwhile, you canpin your favorite widgets to your desktopusing a third-party app called Widget Launcher.
However, it does not support multi-account.
Each account will offer you a unique Widgets panel, as you could personalize each differently.
And the link to that story should ideally open on your default internet web client.
However, the Widgets capability in Windows 11 doesn’t allow that.
It will keep opening links on Microsoft Edge even after you set any other online window as default.
To offer greater flexibility, Microsoft should allow users to change the default web app for Widgets.

Will Microsoft Improve the Widgets Experience in Windows 11?
All the aforementioned features have been suggested by Windows 11 users on the Feedback Hub app.
The more upvotes they get, the more the chance of Microsoft adding them.
However, all the improvements should not come at the expense of increased background activity, thus lowering performance.
New features in Widgets should not impact the fluidity and smoothness of the experience.
