In the computer world, widget comes from the English words “window” and “gadget”. Widgets are graphical and interactive interfaces that generally provide the latest data in a chosen field: weather, news, latest social network posts, etc.

With Windows 11, Microsoft offers Widgets, a new application that allows you to access widgets and add new ones in order to have access to useful information.

Although at first sight interesting and useful, widgets can be annoying. Especially since a Widgets icon is displayed in the taskbar by default. For those who like to navigate between dozens of windows, the smallest space in this bar becomes crucial.
