How to disable news and interest in Windows 11 widget

Anonymous

I want to keep the widget on my task bar, however I don't want the new stories to show. I've hide a bunch of them and they still end up showing, but I'm constantly having to hide them all since there are sooooo many. How do I disable the top stories, and the news and interest without turning off my widgets. I ONLY want the weather to show.

I've uninstalled microsoft news but I'm still seeing the news stories.

With the February update to Windows 11 - you have the option to disable MS start to feed from the Widget Settings. Requires Windows 11 23H2 at least.

I would suggest that you completely remove the the Widgets app from your taskbar - see here -and pin the Weather App to Start / Taskbar.

It boils down to advertising. They want to jam everybody with more ads. Otherwise the turn off button would be in setup. ( or one oƒ the setups. )

You can’t get a straight answer if your life depended on it . How do I get rid off MSM news home page when I open up Edge ?
