Earlier this week leaked Windows 11 online and we have looked at the upcoming OS update.

The update does not only offer a visual overhaul, we also get a reunion with a function many have missed; The Widgets option.

If you have previously used Windows 7 you are familiar with Widgets. Unfortunately, the Widgets option in the leaked Windows 11 only on news and interests à leave what was launched for Windows 10 former in the year.

In the first place first-party widgets
However, the reliable Microsoft Inside Walking Cat claims that Microsoft is planning to support third-party widgets and allow users to customize the widgets menu as desired. Initially, however, Windows 11 will only support the first-party widgets. Support for third-party widgets comes later.

In the next third party widgets
This is confirmed by Rafael Rivera who did not find APIs related to third-party widgets in the leaked Windows 11, indicating that the first Windows 11 update does not come with support for third-party widgets.

Microsoft is expected to announce Windows 11 in the next week. But thanks to the recent leak, we have a notion of what we have in store.
