The revolutionary widget panel, accessible from an all-new button on the Windows 11 taskbar, is now available with Windows Insider Preview Build 25324 along with a newly designed three-column layout – just make sure your screen can accommodate it!

Microsoft announced in a post that it is starting to roll out an updated version of the widgets panel with increased space (up to three columns if supported by the device), as well as separate sections for widgets and feed content, making it easier than ever to stay informed about both your favorite apps and services. This refresh will make it simpler for users to quickly get information at a glance or use their downtime wisely by accessing personalized news content.
In September 2022, Microsoft tested a full-screen widgets board, but that experiment doesn't seem to have made it past Insider builds. This new design still only uses the side of the screen, not covering your entire desktop .

By incorporating more widgets into the panel, Microsoft's update could be an upgrade. However, this current layout has limited the area available for widgets to make room for suggested articles. We can only hope that Microsoft will continue to tweak it, given that there is already a significant amount of suggested content visible in the taskbar search menu .
