It is possible to enable or disable News and Interests on Taskbar using Group Policy or Registry Editor in Windows 10. It is a panel where you can find the latest news, weather reports, sports result, and many more. Many people like to filter news by websites or have a list of websites that you want to read instead of reading anything. If you are one of them, you may get disappointed since News and Interests shows news fetched from msn.com, which is a consolidation of all the big publishers out there, and the news depends on your region. That’s why you may want to hide some of the publishers that you have a problem with.

Auto hide taskbar not unhiding

This was working fine and for some unknown reason it stopped. I have the taskbar on auto hide and when I move my mouse to unhide, it will not show the taskbar. I did not change any settings or download anything new so do not know what happened. I tried taking
auto hide off and it appears fine, then turned auto hide back on and still the taskbar will not unhide. Any suggestions how to get my taskbar to unhide without having to turn it on/off?

I also can not close one window, it makes me close all windows. The little + sign is gone to open a new window I have to go to the right side, open the drop down menu and click New Window. None of this was like this yesterday, the taskbar worked perfectly
so I am very confused. Please help me get my taskbar back to working normal again.
