    It's a component from Microsoft Store.

    You can use either Geek Uninstaller or Revo Uninstaller to get rid of those pesky store apps you don't like/use.

    The one you listed is the Weather app shown on the Start Menu, you can right click and choose uninstall if you don't want it.

    If you do want to keep the Weather app, but just don't want it to run in the background, then you can turn it off (and many other apps) in Settings > Privacy > Background apps.
