This tutorial will show you how to rearrange widgets on the lock screen for your account in Windows 11.

You can stay informed and efficient with dynamic updates that bring weather, finance, sports, traffic, and app notifications right to your lock screen.

Starting with Windows 11 build 22635.4870 (Beta), Microsoft is beginning to roll out support for lock screen widgets (previously referred to as “Weather and more”) to Windows Insiders in the European Economic Area (EEA). You can add, remove, and rearrange lock screen widgets such as Weather, Watchlist, Sports, Traffic, and more. Any widget that supports the small sizing option can be added here. Microsoft is starting this rollout first with Insiders in the EEA and plan to expand to Insiders in other regions in the future. Insiders outside the EEA will continue to see the Weather and more experience.

⚠️ If you do not have this feature available yet for this build, you can enable it using the command below with ViVeTool to have the option in the tutorial available after a restart.

vivetool /enable /id:50179255,53672489
