In the ever-changing environment of Windows 11, Microsoft introduces a selection of upgrades with the newest Preview Build 26200, considering the preferences of Insiders in the Canary Channel. This build, released on April 19, 2024, makes significant enhancements to the widgets within the taskbar.

Among the most important ones, Build 26200 provides a novel approach for widget notifications, which is a great addition for people who want real-time updates. Now, when events occur within your widgets, they smoothly emerge from the taskbar with a subtle animation, keeping you up to date on any changes. Recognizing the diversity of user tastes, Microsoft intelligently gives an option to disable this feature, allowing users to customize their experience.

As exciting as these changes are, it is important to note that the distribution of widget enhancements is presently limited to users in the European Economic Area (EEA). Nonetheless, encouraged by encouraging comments, Microsoft suggests a larger rollout in the near future.

In an effort to answer customer input, Build 26200 includes the return of the famous energy-saving icon, complete with its iconic leaf design. Furthermore, Microsoft recognizes and works aggressively to resolve issues such as the Copilot auto-launching restart glitch, indicating its commitment to providing a consistent user experience.

Will this update allow you to click on links within the widgets board? I like all the different news agencies in the widgets and the cursor lets you know where you should be able to click but if you click anything it just closes the board so I don't really see the point. Also, it might be nice to be able to pin the board open.

So you are saying that not being able to click on a widget is normal right now? I am not concerned with updates at this point but would like to be able to click on a news story and go to it but instead it just shuts the board down.
