    How to Change Weather Location for News and Interests in Windows 10


    News and interests on the taskbar provides easy access to information that’s important to you, without the distraction of switching between apps, websites, and other devices. View your location’s current weather conditions directly on your taskbar and hover over the icon to see concise, scannable information from sports and stocks to local news and breaking headlines.

    The information shown in news and interests is personalized for individual users. Users can customize the content they see, enabling scenarios like the following:

    • Keep an eye on nearby weather and traffic that may impact a commute.
      To change the location shown for weather and traffic updates, select More options (…) on the Weather or Traffic card, and select Edit Location.
    • Follow a topic related to professional or personal interests.
      Follow a specific topic related to an industry, job role, or subject to learn more about. To follow a specific topic, select Manage Interests and select or search for a topic.
    • Get personalized updates on stocks.
      Keep an eye on major market indicators, see top gainers or losers, or create a watch list of stocks to see updates throughout the day.
    • Share, save or see more stories.
      Select More options (…) on headlines and articles in news and interests on the taskbar to share them with others or save them to read later. Users can also request to see more or fewer stories like the ones shown.

    In addition, the appearance of news and interests on the taskbar can be customized. Users can choose to right click or long press a blank space on the taskbar and select News and interests to customize. They can choose Show icon and text or, to save taskbar space, select Show icon only. Users can also select Turn off to unpin news and interests.

    You can edit your location in the weather card for News and Interests. If you update your location from the weather card, it will also update the location used for weather on the taskbar.

    Customize News & Interest


    On one of my laptops the news and interest feature has two columns of cards which I like, yet on another it's only one column. How can I get it to show two columns?

    Also is there a way to turn off AQI from the text on the taskbar without turning off the temperature?

    I figured it out. I need to change display text size to 100%. It was set to 110%. It now shows 2 columns.

    Can someone explain to me why manually changing the location have absolutely no effect most of the times? It always returns to its default detected location no matter what (I click on "Edit", enter my location then save... expect that it isn't saved at all). This occurred on several on our computers joined to a domain and running Windows 10 21H1 or 21H2. Machines are all brand new. I have no idea of the reason behind this behaviour. I'm also currently unable to find a proper answer with my usual search engine.
