How do I stop "Show news and interests on the taskbar" from turning on?

Anonymous

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.

This makes no sense. The toggle shouldn't have anything to do with any other apps as this is native windows setting. It's broken. Fix it! Stop giving stupid suggestions. Thanks.

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. Can you please make sure that the toggle actually does what it is supposed to do and when I turn it off it removes the news from task bar? I don't use it as it's distracting and not useful for me at all.

Thanks

Hi,

In my case, this problem was caused by a malfunctioning program:

CookieBlock https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/cookieblock/mnfolmjlccppcgdeinhidialajfiopcc

after uninstalling CookieBlock it stopped.
