Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 beta tests a new spot for Widgets.

According to Microsoft, some users in the Windows 11 Insider program with left-aligned taskbars may see Widgets moved left of the systems tray, while the share menu can now easily generate QR codes for URLs and links to files stored in the cloud.

Finally, it’s also rolling out a test restoring the ability to drag-and-drop files with your mouse between breadcrumbs in File Explorer that had been removed. Check out all the details of Preview Build 22635.3420, rolling out now to the Beta Channel.
