The News and Interests widget in Windows 10 was rolled out in April. It’s a quick way to check the news, check the temperature in your area today, etc., but not many people are a massive fan of the widget. The widget is enabled by default, but there is an easy way to disable it if you wish. You can also customize the widget to show you more of your interests. This tutorial will show you how to disable, enable, and customize the news and interests taskbar widget in Windows 10 computers.
Disable, Enable and Customize News and Interests Taskbar Widget
The widget at first looks more like a weather widget, but you will see the news and interests section if you click on it. This is what the widget looks like at first glance:
