When hovering over or clicking on the Widgets shortcut the panel appears with ~50 of these stupid little windows all showing news feeds.
I don't mind the weather and a very few other widgets that show something useful but all of these news panels are pointless, annoying, and really leaning me more towards going back to Windows 10 where I can have real Live Tiles again without this excess junk.
How can we really customize this panel and remove all these unwanted news panels?
I have closed them with the upper-right 'X' which leaves them blank until the next time the panel opens.
I have chosen to 'Hide stories' from at least 100 different news agencies, but they continue to appear.
I have gone through the MS account 'personalize your interests' option to remove all possible genres of news.
Nothing removes the amount of windows shown or the genre of news that they continue to show.
I don't want to change what these little windows show, I want to delete the majority of the windows altogether so that only 4 or 5 at the most are there.
And why are these limited to these news feed type windows; weather, stocks, etc?
Why can't we create custom application shortcut widgets like in old Windows 7 & 8.1 add-ons with advanced options?

This feature could have been so useful, and instead they piled a bunch of junk on it. I really want to know what the weather report looks like and possibly half a dozen information sources. Instead MSN is making me pick through the junk pile.
From everything I've found thus far, there's no way to disable the actual newsfeed and still keep the widget board to use the true widgets like weather and traffic.
Nothin' more than liberal propaganda, celebrity drama queens, and clickbait baddies -- so sick of this BS!
liberal propaganda? Come on now, be serious in this thread. I'm getting smashed with Fox news tiles... why make it political in here. Sheesh
Or or or….
You would make it like your end users would like to.
Instead of annoying ads being shoved down your throat.
I’m back at Win10 already.
And now it has become worse. The horrendous news feed take all the space (2 columns on the right of the widgets so you are forced to see them) and still no way to hide that and keep only the real widgets you need (calendar, weather, etc.)
I suspect this is done to force users to see the fake news, lies and trash so they can make their brainwash of so many people.
We've come so low...
