At today’s Windows 11 Hybrid Work event, Microsoft announced a slew of new features, including a tabbed File Explorer. In addition to the features Microsoft highlighted at the event, there's one that may have slipped through the cracks of even the most attentive viewers - apparently there will soon be an option to view the Windows 11 widgets panel in full-screen mode.
In the current iteration, the widget panel opens from the left side of the screen and appears on your desktop or open applications. However, the video shows the user maximizing the widget panel to occupy the full screen, covering the desktop. This allows more widgets to be displayed simultaneously along with news stories from Microsoft Start.
That’s not all. Apparently, the widget panel will also support both work and personal accounts. Currently, the Widgets panel displays different content based on the type of account you use. Personal accounts have widgets for weather, OneDrive photos, sports, and more, while business users get widgets that highlight recent files within their organization.
In the video, when you click on the profile picture, you can see that you are logged into both your personal account and your work account, and the information displayed appears to be from both as well account. You can see more work-related widgets on the left side of the screen and more personal content on the right side. That's probably how it's organized in this short though, you can mix and match them as you like.
Since this was only briefly revealed, there is no indication of when the new Widgets panel improvements will be available to Windows 11 users, or even Windows Insiders. However, there's a good chance it'll happen soon, as many of the features announced today are already available to Insiders. There should be a new version to test this week, so we'll have to wait and see if it contains this change.
The above is the detailed content of Windows 11 gets full-screen widget pages, support for work and personal accounts. For more information, please follow other related articles on the PHP Chinese website!
