How to Manage Notification Widgets in Windows 11

Notifications are one of the important features in Windows 11 that allow users to stay up-to-date with important information from apps and systems. However, notifications can also become a nuisance if they are too many or irrelevant.

Widgets are small cards that display dynamic content from your favorite apps and services on your Windows desktop. You can view widgets on the widget board, where you can find, paste, remove, arrange, resize, and customize widgets according to your interests.

Your widget board is optimized to display relevant widgets and content based on your usage. Widgets help you stay up to date with the things that matter to you by incorporating personalized content from your favorite apps and services so you can have the latest information at a glance throughout your day.

However, widgets can also be a source of distraction if you don’t manage them well. Widgets can display notifications that may interfere with your work or entertainment. If you find widget notifications annoying or useless, you can easily disable them.
