Windows 10

[mika76]

Suggested new feature or improvement

Not sure if this was planned but I can only see this in the store on my Windows 11 pc - I see no reason why Windows 10 would not be supported.

Scenario

There are lots of Windows 10 users.

Additional details

No response

[asklar]

Widgets (which are used by the DevHome dashboard) are not currently supported on Windows 10.

[mika76]

@asklar Do you mean they are used internally within the app, or that the app has a widget which can be added to the windows 11 widgets view?

[asklar]

Widgets are part of the app (the "dashboard" feature/page), widgets are shown inside of the app.

[mika76]

Ok I've just looked them up but are they not part of WinUI 3 which it states at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/winui/

WinUI 3 works downlevel to Windows 10 October 2018 Update (Version 1809, OS build 17763).

[asklar]

No, widgets are a separate component from WinUI. WinUI 3 works downlevel, but the Widget platform (which Widgets depends on) does not currently run on windows 10. We're looking into what it would take to bring devhome downlevel.
