Windows 11 continues to surprise developers as they resume releasing test builds of the system after the holiday break. One of the latest updates as part of the Insider program is Build 23612, which introduces an enhanced weather “widget” on the lock screen.
Previously, Windows 11 users could already display basic weather information on the lock screen. However, the new functionality will allow for the display of more detailed weather forecast data. Clicking on the forecast tile will prompt users to log in, and the system will automatically redirect them to the full weather forecast in MSN Weather, which opens in the Microsoft Edge browser.
It is not yet clear whether users will have the ability to change the browser to another one, such as the default one in the system. However, it is known that the weather “widget” will be available on the lock screen regardless of customization.
To configure the visibility of weather information on the Windows 11 lock screen, users need to visit the system settings and then the Personalization and Lock Screen tab. From there, users will also be able to set the background image during login or customize other related settings, such as the screensaver.
Microsoft has not yet provided a specific date for the introduction of the new feature to the stable version of Windows 11. However, considering that this is already an advanced stage of testing, it can be expected that implementation will take little time. However, Microsoft does inform that the new feature is currently only available to insiders using the English language. It may therefore take a few weeks before the novelty is tested in all languages and finally reaches the wider audience.
