June 9, 2021
Microsoft has now rolled out the Windows 10 'News and Interests' news feed to everyone and enabled it by default on the taskbar, causing many people to seek how to disable it.
In response to the mass install, BleepingComputer has seen numerous tweets and posts [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] where people ask how to disable the widget or are confused about why it is being displayed.
Others have also reported that the News and Interests feature still has previously reported bugs that mess up the display of the taskbar and its notification icons.
To disable the News and Interests widget, right-click on an empty portion of your taskbar, select 'News and interests,' and then click on 'Turn off.'
