Microsoft announced the addition of third-party widgets during its Build 2022 developer conference. Third-party widget support will be available in Windows 11 in the near future. These are widgets created by developers from other teams, not Microsoft.

Recall that at the time of release of Windows 11 only worked with Microsoft’s own branded widgets. Microsoft has long promised to rectify the situation, but practical action has only now come.

Microsoft has announced that developers will be able to roll out their widgets by the end of this year. The company’s specialists will check them, and some will approve. You can create for Win32 and PWA programs via the Adaptive Cards system.

Widgets – windows created for easy use of various dynamic information. They appear on the Windows 11 desktop. Currently, the operating system supports only 11 widgets. For example, weather forecast, sports data, games, photos, traffic jams, etc.
