Re: my laptop just went through an up date.

Right click the Taskbar, go to News and Interests. Put a check in Turn Off.

Steve,

That's correct. The News & interests item appeared three years ago.
Add or Remove News and Interests icon on Taskbar - TenForumsTutorials
See also Enable or Disable News and Interests on Taskbar - TenForumsTutorials


All the best,
Denis

Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

What (which part) do you identify as the "Task Bar"?

The Bar at the bottom that has the Time Clock on the right and the Start button and icons on the left.
As stated, Right click a blank space on the taskbar, select News and Interests, and click Turn Off.

Glad I was able to help.
