Hide News and Interests in Windows 10

With the next release of Windows 10, Microsoft is testing News and Interests on the taskbar. With News and Interests, you get a quick glance of dynamic content throughout the day. This article discusses how to show or Hide News and Interests in the taskbar. As News and Interests is just a taskbar feature, you can either hide it or configure it to show the icon only.





Disable News and Interests on Windows 10

To enable or Disable News and Interests in the taskbar, see the steps below:

1. Right-click the Taskbar on the desktop.
   
2. Click News and Interests.
   
3. Select Turn off from the list of options.
   
4. If you want an icon only related to weather, select show Icon only.
   

These steps can help you disable News and Interests on the taskbar.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Would you mind giving these steps a try and then informing me of the outcome?

1. Group Policy Settings:
   
   • If your system is part of a domain or managed by an organization, Group Policy settings might be configured to disable "News and Interests" on restart. You can check and modify these settings if you have administrative access.
     
   • Open the Local Group Policy Editor by running gpedit.msc.
     
   • Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > News and interests.
     
   • Ensure that the policy "Enable news and interests on the taskbar" is set to "Enabled" or "Not Configured".
     
2. Registry Settings:
   
   • Incorrect registry settings might cause the feature to turn off. You can check and modify the relevant registry keys.
     
   • Open the Registry Editor by running regedit.
     
   • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Feeds.
     
   • Ensure the value for ShellFeedsTaskbarViewMode is set to 0 (show icon and text) or 1 (show only icon) .
     
3. Windows Updates:
   
   • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates.
     
4. User Profile Corruption:
   
   • There might be an issue with your user profile. Try creating a new user account and see if the problem persists.
     
5. Software Conflicts:
   
   • Try disabling or uninstalling recently installed software to see if it resolves the issue.
     
6. System File Corruption:
   
   • Corrupted system files can cause various issues. Running the System File Checker (SFC) might help.
     
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run
     
     sfc /scannow
     
     
   • This command attempts to repair the Windows image using files from Windows Update. If the process gets stuck, be patient and let it complete.
