    news/weather icon appeared on its own on taskbar


    I noticed this yesterday. There is a new icon that shows local weather temperature and when I click on it, it opens a news page. I do not recall ever installing this and how do I go about removing it? Dell latitude e5530 laptop running win10 pro 20H2 ver 19042.964. Thanks

    Mark,

    Windows update put it there. It is easily removed.

    For info
    Microsoft introduces news and interests on the Windows 10 taskbar - TenForums
    Enable or Disable News and Interests on Taskbar - TenForumsTutorials

    To stop it appearing
    Add or Remove News and Interests icon on Taskbar - WQTutorials
    In short - right-click on Taskbar, News & interests, Turn off.

    Thanks Denis. I guess if I used the correct terminology using search would help me find the solution. Thanks again.

    Mark,

    I generally cope with forum searches by downloading the tutorial index each month as a spreadsheet so I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities.

    There's a link to the Tutorial index at the top of every forum page. Just jump to the end of the index and you'll see the download links.

    All the best,
    Denis
