  1. Win 11 Widget Board all Black - asks to install Dependencies, but nothing happens...


    Just had to reinstall Windows 11, 2h24, on our Lenovo T15. Everything works fine but the Widget Board. When I click the Taskbar Icon shows no activity the Widget Board loads but is nothing but black. When clicking on it, a message says "Additional Dependencies are needed to download and install" But when I click the install button the circle starts turning around. On and on forever. Nothing happens.How do I fix this issue to make the Widget Board work again?

    :)

  2. Remove News from widgets board.

    Sure, I can explain further and provide some screenshots to help you out.

    The News/Interests section is a feature in Windows 11 that displays news and other information on your Widgets Board. It appears as a section with a news feed and a weather widget, located at the bottom of the Widgets Board, as shown below:

    Windows 11 News/Interests section

    If you don't see this section on your Widgets Board, it may not be enabled yet. To enable it, click on the Widgets button on your taskbar, and if you see a prompt to turn on News/Interests, click "Yes" to enable it.

    If you've already enabled News/Interests and want to remove the news feed from your Widgets Board, you can follow the steps I provided earlier. Here they are again, with some screenshots to help:

    1-Right-click on the News/Interests section of the Widgets Board.

    2-Hover over the "News and interests" option, and then select "Turn off" from the

    After you've selected "Turn off," the news feed should disappear from your Widgets Board. The button to open News/Interests will still be available on your taskbar in case you want to turn it back on later.
