Whenever I turn off the "Show news and interests on the taskbar" setting, it eventually turns itself back on. While it is off, it works properly, disappearing from my taskbar. But then around 10 minutes later, it reappears on my taskbar with the setting being turned back on.

    There is multitude of problems with win 11 with basic features not working and being "ghost" features. Regarding win 10 the news and interest bit didn't used to be a problem. It started some time ago. It gives a user an impression that someone is tampering with the system or hacking it. Interesting bit is the one with auto updates that can't be turned off. They don't even ask anymore just force it upon people

    In W11, the current problem is that snap has a default PNG and you have to manually change it to JPG each time. Once W11 remembered the last setting. Damn Windows. Democratic dictatorship.

    There are many problems with default windows settings not working. win shouldn't force anybody to use any features while giving supposed option to opt out.

    These are the usual consequences of many complications in Windows. There were no such problems in NT4.
