Although to the disappointment of many, we now know that Windows 11 Widgets will be exclusive to this version and for now will not have third-party support
For those who already thought about customizing their copy of Windows 10 with the new Windows 11 designs or those who thought about using third-party developments, it's all a jug of cold water, it seems that for now will have to settle for using what Microsoft decides to introduce in Windows 11
