How To Add Weather Widget In Windows 11
0This video provides a quick and easy guide on how to add the weather widget to your taskbar in Windows 11. The weather widget is part of the built-in Windows Widgets panel and displays current conditions along with localized forecasts directly on your desktop. It offers a convenient way to stay informed about the weather without opening a separate app or browser.
To begin the process, open the Windows 11 Start menu or use the search bar, and type in “Settings.” Once the Settings window opens, click on the “Personalization” option from the left-hand menu. From there, scroll down and select “Taskbar.” In this section, you’ll find several taskbar-related toggles, including one labeled “Widgets.”
Toggle the “Widgets” switch to the ON position. Once enabled, you’ll immediately see the weather icon appear at the bottom left-hand side of your taskbar. This icon provides real-time temperature and weather updates for your current location. Clicking the icon opens the full Widgets panel, which may also include news, traffic updates, calendar events, and other personalized content based on your Microsoft account.
If you don’t see the “Widgets” option in your taskbar settings, your version of Windows 11 may be out of date. To fix this, return to the main Settings page and scroll down to select “Windows Update.” Click “Check for updates” to ensure you are running the latest version of Windows. After updating, revisit the taskbar settings, and the Widgets toggle should be available.
This method is a native Windows feature and requires no third-party applications. It’s ideal for users who want a streamlined way to check the weather and other dynamic content directly from their desktop.
