Windows 10: News and interests "Weather" app megathread.

Love it or hate it the News and Interests app is here and you have to deal with it.

And as annoying as the app may be for some of you it's not as annoying as 100 posts ranting about it and thus, this megathread was born.

How do I disable it?

Right click -> News and interests -> Turn off

That's it. Right click guys. Context menus have been a part of Windows for decades. You should know this.

If you need help right clicking you have bigger problems than this.

But that's not intuitive!
​

Rant below

But it's blurry on some computers!

But it's being shoved down our throats and Microsoft engineers should be fired for this!

This is the Windows community, not the drama club.

Let's go guys! Let's hear some quality rants!
