However, the new functionality, which is now hidden for the first time in the current version of Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22621, is still unconfirmed at the moment. Just eye candy or useful?

Recently with desktop gadgets, the so-called “interactive content”, which spreads across the desktop and is reminiscent of gadgets from Windows Vista (test), the question also arises with desktop stickers, what is this gimmick in the end should be useful.
With Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft should try to closely include the desktop and user interface again.
The feature is really funny
Many users are already breathing about the Twitter SMS service and are already widely mocking Microsoft’s recent “feature update”. What do you think of the customizable desktop stickers in Windows 11?
