Tired of Windows 10 News & Features Taskbar Elements? Here’s how to get rid of it

In a recent update to Windows 10, Microsoft added a new feature called “News & Interests” to the operating system. However, Windows users don’t seem to be very fond of the widget and seem to be looking for ways to disable or remove it. This feature displays the latest headlines from various news sources, horoscopes, stock market reports and weather. Although it was meant to monitor your surroundings, this feature, located in the lower-right corner of the taskbar on the desktop, gets annoying if you hover your cursor over the widgets button on the taskbar. The content of the widget may not be very relevant in some cases. This is the reason why users want to eliminate this feature, and we have a solution for you. You can either disable it completely, stop its pop ups, or reduce the size of its taskbar buttons.

1: If you are done with the feature and want to disable it completely, right-click on the button and on the menu, hover your pointer over ‘News & Interests’. A side menu will open. Click on ‘Turn Off’.

2: If you see some use in the widget button but prevent it from popping up at random times, right-click on the button, move your pointer to ‘News & Interests’. In the side-menu, deselect ‘Open on hover’.

3: If you want to reduce the size of the button, in the ‘News & Interests’ side menu, select ‘Show only icons’ and the button will shrink down to a smaller icon. Upon selecting ‘Show Icons and Text’, it will expand to its standard size.

4: There is another option in the ‘News & Interests’ side menu. The ‘Reduce taskbar updates’ option will make feature updates less frequent. This is a useful option if you are looking to save data during limited internet usage.
