You can adjust the widget size to small, medium or large. Adjust the content of the widget, for example the weather location, by clicking on Adjust widget.

To remove the widget, click Remove Widget.
I hope this has allowed you to adjust the widgets to your liking. Also read, customize the taskbar in windows 11.

Thank you for reading!
How do I remove an assigned share from the watchlist in widget? For example, Tesla can be added but not removed from the list.
Hello, this was something I was also looking for. Open the widgets, click on “to watchlist”. Then click on the “Manage” link with a gear icon at the top left of the browser that opens. Select the “Symbol” you wish to remove and click on the “remove” link that appears. Good luck!

Dear,
When I click on add widget I go to the English page.
How do I convert that to the Dutch version?
E.g. the Eredivisie etc. etc.
Get the English version every time
Awaiting your response

Hallo,
for that you need to change the region. You can read this information in this article: https://www.pc-tips.info/tips/windows-tips/regio-wijzigen-in-microsoft-store-via-windows-11/
The region settings in Windows 11 recently determine the information displayed in the Widgets. So if you change the region with the above information to “Netherlands” then the Dutch news, etc. will be displayed in the Widgets.
Greetings, Stefan
