Calendar events disappeared from taskbar in Windows 11 insider build
ralph1988 There is a widget panel when you swipe from the left, there you can add the calendar widget but it became a downgrade.
- Clicking events opens up outlook calendar on the web instead of the app
- Calendars from other accounts aren't included, you'll have to import into your main account for it to be available in the customize widget options
I already have a Rainmeter skin that shows the date and time, so if that is all the Taskbar calendar will be good for from now on, I have no use for it. And I am not going to use the widgets thing until MS stops having every link force users onto Edge (so I will probably never use the widgets).
randyc12There is a tool called EdgeDeflector that reroutes Edge requests to your default browser. I was hoping with Windows 11 that MS would have given up on attempting to force Edge down everyone's throat... alas, they seem to have doubled down it. Anyway, EdgeDeflector is dead useful; Chrome and Firefox both have extensions for use with Cortana (Chrometana, Foxtana) that reroutes the queries to the search engine of your choosing, so if you want to do a quick web search you don't have to to use ███████ useless Bing.
The calendar issue is irritating, I'm not sure why selecting a date is even incorporated when it has no functionality other than drawing a circle around it.
But hopefully this can be of some help.Mojtabai
- Well, I (finally) found the $!%# widget and it does have my calendar events intact. It's annoying to have to open the dang thing in a browser but it'll work okay. I was on a direct course to restoring Win10, but this is acceptable.
However, none of them alert me. I set up two test events and neither went off.
What the heck am I doing wrong? Okay, since setting up EdgeDeflector, now when I do a search in Yahoo I get this ...
"Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand."
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks.Edit: Confirmed. I changed it back to Microsoft-Edge from EdgeDeflector and searches in Yahoo work fine.
