  1. How to remove the newsfeed from taskbar, but keep the weather widget?


    Hello! I would like to opt out of news, top stories and other stuff from Microsoft Start on my taskbar, but keep the weather widget there. Is it possible to do so? How? I have already tried blocking all the news topics, but it didn't help: the news still appear. All I really need is the weather.

    :)

    widgets i only want to see the weather widget

    Any idea when MS will make it possible to disable the newsfeed portion of the widget so only the weather will show? The newsfeed portion is useless and annoying. At this point I've turned off widgets.

    Weather location in taskbar does not match weather widget

    That did not fix the problem. And yes, I have rebooted.

    It is incorrect to say that the problem is that the Weather app (seen on the right in the screenshot) is showing the wrong location.

    The problem is that the weather widget that is embedded in the taskbar is incorrect.

    As you see, I have three different weather reports. One is in the Weather widget in widgets view (opened via Windows + W). One is in the Weather App (which shows "Parkwood Maintenance, TX" instead of San Antonio, for some unclear reason). And in the lower left, you can see the weather report in the taskbar.

    Apparently the weather widget in the taskbar much be controlled separately from the weather widget in the widget view and from the Weather app. But I don't know how to access the settings for the Weather widget in the taskbar. How do I fix it, so the taskbar shows the weather for the correct location?

    I bought a Framework laptop and updated to Windows 11 a few weeks ago. I noticed the new weather section of the taskbar - and noticed that it's always wrong, showing the weather for some other, unknown location.

    After looking up information online I updated the location for the weather widget. So when I view the widgets screen, the full weather widget shows the correct weather (for San Antonio - but the weather in the taskbar does not match. It appears to be using weather data for some other location.

    How do I get the taskbar in sync so it uses the same location as the full weather widget?
