As an analyst, I’m pleased to see Windows 11 is bringing back the Agenda view to the Notification Center. It’s a feature many of us enjoyed in Windows 10, and its absence in the latest version was a bit puzzling. However, there’s a small change in how it’s implemented that I anticipate some users won’t be thrilled about.
The new Agenda view seems to be built using WebView2, which might mean it uses more processing power and doesn’t look and feel as integrated as other parts of Windows. Windows Latest tested it to see how it performs.
Because the Agenda view is still being tested, it didn’t function correctly for Windows Latest. However, when we tried to use it, it did pull information from Outlook and display it within a special browser window. This caused a noticeable increase in CPU and memory usage, likely because the Windows system process responsible for powering the feature was working hard.
When an app first starts up, it’s common to see a temporary increase in computer usage. Windows Latest noticed that processes labeled “GPU Process” and “Utility” stopped running after they closed the Notification Center during testing.
Because Agenda view runs on the web, it might temporarily use more computer processing power and memory than apps built directly for your device. While this increase is likely brief, it could require more system resources.
WebView2 components don’t quite blend in with the native look and feel of Windows 11. The fonts and user interface elements can make applications built with WebView2 appear more like web pages running on your computer than traditional desktop apps.
Like many others, I was disappointed when Windows 11 removed a helpful feature from Windows 10. I even had to buy an app just to get a calendar pop-up working again. Thankfully, the upcoming Agenda view should bring this functionality back without needing extra software.
The updated Agenda view is different from the old version, and many users find it improved. It lets you manage your scheduled meetings, and now also works with Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Whether a particular feature is helpful or annoying depends on the user. Recently, our Managing Editor, Jez Corden, pointed out that people aren’t interested in Microsoft’s poorly made AI products.
You’ll likely be able to use the new Agenda view to see and manage your calendar events normally, without needing AI features.
