0How to Remove the “News and Interests” Widget From the Taskbar In Windows 10.
The idea of the feature is to keep you on your device instead of opening your phone to peek into news and other information throughout the day.
Although it is a good idea, the caveat is that it comes enabled by default, and it’s not something that everyone wants since it can add unnecessary distractions. If the widget is not for you, Windows 10 includes options to disable or enable the feature in at least two ways using the taskbar settings or registry.

With the widget enabled on your PC, simply hover your mouse over it and ‘right-click’. Scroll up to the ‘News and interests’ menu item. Expand the menu and select ‘Turn off’. And that’s it, the widget should now be gone from your taskbar.
