How to Uninstall Widgets on Windows 11

Windows 11 introduces Widgets as a built‑in feature that provides quick access to News, Weather, Calendar and other personalized contents. While useful for some users, Widgets can be unnecessary or undesirable in professional, performance‑sensitive, or privacy‑focused environments. This article explains a clear, practical guide to fully uninstall Widgets in Windows 11 (not just hiding them).

• Right-click Windows PowerShell from the results and click on Run as administrator to launch this tool.

Step 2. Run the Command

Copy and enter the command below into the interface of PowerShell:

Get-AppxPackage *WebExperience* | Remove-AppxPackage

Conclusion

Your Widgets should now be removed along with the Web Experience Pack on your Windows 11. By following these steps, you can enjoy a cleaner and more controlled desktop experience.
