The Widget board is an informative feature of Windows 11, which carries different cards like weather, news, sports, finance, traffic conditions, etc. You can now add system monitor widgets, such as CPU usage, RAM usage, network usage, GPU usage monitoring cards, etc., to the Windows 11 widget board.
System monitor widgets are part of Microsoft’s new Dev Home experience. This application is a setup tool that enables developers to test and build applications in a centralized location. However, you can also install the Dev Home app on your Windows 11 PC, which brings system monitoring cards to the Widget board on Windows 11.
