Microsoft is finally making the default Windows 11 lock screen a lot less cluttered
Simple is best.
Microsoft has simplified the default Windows 11 lock screen. According to XDA Developers, the lock screen previously came with a selection of widgets that users had to manually turn off, but now it has been reduced to just the bare essentials.
The change comes as Microsoft prepares for an event in San Francisco next month, where the company is expected to discuss its next moves in Windows and Surface, with a focus on local AI computing. TechSpot reports that the event, scheduled for October 7, will cover Windows, Surface, and the broader PC market, and will feature appearances by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
The event may also bring more details on the Surface Laptop Ultra, which was introduced earlier this year and runs on Nvidia's RTX Spark platform. However, pricing and a release date for the laptop remain unannounced.
