If you use an Outlook account and need to check your calendar multiple times a day, the Outlook Calendar widget should be the first one you add to your widgets board. Not only does the widget give you a quick look at your upcoming events, but it also lets you add new events to the calendar—without needing to open the app.
The Outlook Calendar supports multiple calendars, so you can choose which ones you want to see based on your preference. Depending on how many calendars you select, you can also choose the widget size to accommodate information accordingly.
The Sports widget is a great way to keep up with all the latest updates from your favorite sports and teams on your Windows 11 PC. It supports many major leagues across different sports around the world, including Premium League, Bundesliga, ICC, and IPL. You can even mark leagues (and your favorite teams in them) as favorites to view their latest updates.
All the information the Sports widget pulls up is from MSN. You can choose to view this information in three widget sizes: small, medium, and large, all of which show different numbers of events at once.
