We’re always keeping a keen eye on the early stage preview versions and updates of Windows 11 to see what’s coming down the pipe, and so, therein, we’re pleased and glad to see two main, small, but useful fixes on the way that should be continuing out to everyone soon.
First and foremost, at long last, it looks as though Microsoft will add the option to hide the news feed from the widgets box. This, too, has been enabled in the respected build 26058 (via XDA Developers), so apparently, users can check up on the weather or sports scores without being bombarded by the latest headlines from across the web.
Meanwhile, as previewed, the new sight and the entire outlook are simply called My Widgets, and the thinking is that it may have been introduced in part to appease EU regulators—regulators who are keen to give users as much quality and flexibility as possible.
In addition, based on the Dev and Canary channels of Windows 11, this tweak will be useful and available worldwide and throughout the nation.
In addition to that, users can access widgets by just clicking the widgets icon on the taskbar. It should be to the left of the other icons and might already precisely be showing some dynamic information (like the weather or a traffic alert); otherwise, it’s a white rectangle next to a blue rectangle.
Also and secondly, sticking with Build 26058, thus through and via the MS Power-User. Meanwhile, the Microsoft Windows 11 operating system is also adding text labels to the cut, copy, and paste icons that appear when you right-click in File Explorer. If a user is ever squinted at this pop-up menu to try and figure out exactly where to click, you’ll or the same user will know how useful these labels will be.
Precisely, of course, an individual or a user can still use the familiar keyboard shortcuts if you fancy, but for those of us going through the milieu menus in File Explorer, this should make a significant difference and avoid files being moved or copied to the wrong place.
As always, Microsoft’s plans can change, and features that appear in preview versions of Windows don’t always make it out to everyone. However, these fixes seem to have a good chance of making it, so we’re looking forward to seeing them appear.
