How to Disable Windows 10’s News and Interests Taskbar Newsfeed

As part of the May 2021 Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft introduced a new feature to Windows 10 called ‘News and Interests.’ If you are not a fan of the new widget, this article will explain how you can disable it, so it doesn’t appear on the Windows 10 taskbar.

This feature is a taskbar news feed that displays the local forecast directly on your taskbar, and when you click or hover your mouse, it opens up a screen showing news, sports scores, and stocks based upon your interests.
