    Hi, I would like to use the widget app. But I can not because it is full of news, aka spam. I have tried, following the advice from this question but it did not remove the news in the widgets pain. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/all/disabling-news-in-windows-11-widgets/83ea6614-b0b6-4785-aad1-61c0c1d7753aI have tried managing my interests, but there is no way to select "no news at all".

  3. How to disable news and interest in Windows 11 widget

    Haylie -

    "I DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF THE WHOLE WIDGET, since I want the other widget, however I DO NOT WANT THE NEWS AND INTEREST WIDGET."

    I did not show you how to get rid of all Widgets, only to remove the News and Interests Widget, which is exactly what you just said you want.

    I also showed how to modify it in my last post, which is what you could do if you actually wanted to keep it and just adjust the news feed. But now you're saying "I DO NOT WANT THE NEWS AND INTEREST WIDGET."

    Again here is how to remove the News and Interest Widget in Windows 11 ONLY:
