    Microsoft Weather App Forecast

    Hi Holly,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you try to uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft Weather on your computer to refresh the app and to get the latest update. You may follow these steps:

    • Go to Search, type powershell, and open
      PowerShell
      as Administrator.
    • Enter the following command and press Enter:

      Get-AppxPackage *bingweather* | Remove-AppxPackage
    To reinstall it, just go to Store and search for Microsoft Weather.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Thank you.

    Why did Microsoft Remove the Great News & Weather Taskbar Option for Windows 11??

    KB5000626 Windows 10 Insider Preview Dev Build 21301.1010 Feb. 1 Insider

    Windows 10’s taskbar is getting a big update with new weather and news widget - The Verge
    To disable the taskbar news widget, use these steps:

    • Right-click the taskbar on Windows 10.
    • Select the News and interests menu and choose the Hidden option. Disable taskbar News and Interests.
    • (Optional) Select the Show icon only option if you want to keep the widget using less space in the taskbar.
    I don't know if it works


    It works
