It will not go away!!

I can block the same site over and over on the widget, and it just comes back again after a few days.

and it constantly pops up any time I as much as hover a second anywhere on the screen.

This is seriously starting to make me think of dropping Microsoft altogether as it is driving me insane.

Are there any solutions to this, I've have sent numerous feedback messages to Microsoft about it, but it

looks like nothing is happening.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Met,

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

Microsoft did promise to make Microsoft Start news optional from the Widget board earlier this year, and in the coming weeks in Europe, the change will be rolled out. For rest of the World, there is no ETA.

Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.

 

Remove News from widgets board.

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Saeid. I'll be happy to help you out today.You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

Certainly! Here are the steps to remove the News/Interests section from your Windows 11 Widgets Board:

First, click the Widgets button on your taskbar, located on the bottom right corner of your screen.

If you haven't already enabled the News/Interests feature, you'll see a prompt to turn it on. Click "Yes" if you want to turn it on or "Not Now" if you want to keep it off.

Once the News/Interests feature is enabled, you'll see a preview of the news on your Widgets Board. Right-click on the news section.

From the context menu that appears, select "News and Interests."

From the submenu, select "Turn off."

That's it! You have successfully removed the news section from your Widgets Board, and the button will still be present in your taskbar in case you want to turn it back on later.
