Microsoft is eliminating a popular feature in Windows 11 so you can use an application

The initiates complain that they lack an important function of the taskbar in Windows 11. Microsoft has now declared that this was intentional and that an application must be used instead. The reactions are not very friendly.

The users of the Windows Insider program can already test Windows 11 and its features. But in addition to the slightly adapted design, which YouTuber remembers Macintosh more, some things have also been changed elsewhere. And not all people are happy with these changes.

The fact that applications or programs can no longer be anchored to the taskbar has made few users happy.

That is about: Now users had complained that Windows calendar had also been deprived of an important function that many people like to use.

In Windows 10, you can open the calendar by clicking on the date display. In addition to the date and calendar view, I had access to important dating and could immediately see what was in the program for this week or in the coming days.

This means that you can access important appointments directly from your desktop and you do not have to change to other applications.

This feature (delineated in red) is missing in Windows 11.

The new calendar view in Windows 11. Stemer and with many fewer functions.

This is Microsoft's reaction: But Microsoft quickly declared that the calendar function in Windows 11 deliberately was no longer available and that it was not an error. Instead, you can use the new Widget application in Windows 11 (via WindowsLatest.com):

The first reactions to Microsoft's response did not wait. And many users are disappointed with the change.

Users feel that they are being kidnapped and want to recover ancient functions

Microsoft's response is clearly rejected by users. Because not everyone likes the track that you have a great application as an alternative you should try.

This is what users suspect behind the action: And some users also think they have recognized the intention behind this, because Microsoft wants to promote the new Widget Widget 11 function with it. Then someone writes quite clearly: The widget (tool) not only contains the calendar, but is full of unnecessary messages and things.

The calendar option for widgets is also far from being as extensive as the previous function in Windows 10.

The calendar widget only shows the calendar of my Microsoft account. I also use other calendars and I need to see them all together. Web widgets are not very useful and I prefer to see all my appointments in the calendar drop-down menu.

Microsoft would also like to convince Windows 11 players. For this purpose, some new functions have been introduced that players can try with Windows 11. We present some of them in more detail in our article here about Windows calendar:
