""We're working to make Widgets feel less distracting and overwhelming by making the experience quiet by default. To do this, we're testing a new set of default settings designed to reduce unexpected alerts and visual interruptions.""
""Microsoft is planning to disable the widgets panel opening when you hover over its taskbar item, alongside turning off distracting taskbar badges by default.""
""These changes should make the taskbar a little less annoying, especially as the widgets section would often have notifications for stocks, weather, or MSN news by default.""
""The changes are part of Microsoft's ongoing effort to improve Windows 11, including removing unnecessary Copilot buttons from apps and modernizing the Run prompt.""
Microsoft is removing the MSN news feed from the Windows 11 widgets feature by default to create a less distracting user experience. Users will no longer see the MSN feed when opening widgets, as Microsoft aims to make the interface quieter. The widgets panel will open directly to widgets instead of the news feed, and taskbar alerts will be limited until users engage with the widgets. These changes are part of a broader effort to enhance Windows 11, including improvements to various system features.
