While Microsoft canceled its Windows 10X operating system, the company is clearly reusing large parts of that work with Windows 11. Early version of Windows Widgets in Windows 11. Rumors have suggested Microsoft is bringing back Windows Widgets, and this early version appears to include some.Īs this is clearly a very early version of Windows 11, the widgets aren’t loading fully in the OS, but they’re designed to slide out and provide quick access to news, weather, and other web content. You may have noticed a new icon in the Windows 11 taskbar, and it’s labeled Widgets in the operating system. A large part of the operating system feels finished though, so we’d expect to see a beta of this to arrive shortly for Windows Insiders to test. We’re expecting to see more changes to the built-in apps within Windows 11, but most of those don’t appear to be present yet. This is still an early version of Windows 11 that has leaked, so not everything is included yet. The Start menu itself also includes rounded corners. These are visible in context menus, and around apps and the File Explorer. Microsoft is also using rounded corners throughout Windows 11. You can move the Windows 11 Start menu to the left side.

Coupled with the dark mode that’s also available, and Windows 11 starts to look like a more refined version of Windows 10 than something dramatically new. If you don’t want the app icons and Start menu centered, there’s an option to move them all back to the left-hand side. It’s really a lot more simplified than what exists in Windows 10 today. It includes pinned apps, recent files, and the ability to quickly shut down or restart Windows 11 devices. This updated Start menu is a simplified version of what currently exists in Windows 10, without Live Tiles.
