Windows 10: How to disable news and interest in Windows 11 widget

I want to keep the widget on my task bar, however I don't want the new stories to show. I've hide a bunch of them and they still end up showing, but I'm constantly having to hide them all since there are sooooo many. How do I disable the top stories, and the news and interest without turning off my widgets. I ONLY want the weather to show.I've uninstalled microsoft news but I'm still seeing the news stories.

How to disable the windows resize widget.

Hi Carl,

The resizing widget on your screen isn't part of Windows 10, so it's possible that it's showing up due to a third-party program. We'd like to learn more about your concern so that we could provide the proper resolution. We just have a few questions for you:

• What is the make and model of your device?
  
• Did you make any changes to your computer before this started happening?

As an initial recommendation, we suggest performing a clean boot to find out if this behavior is caused
by a third-party program. This will load Windows with minimal drivers and programs, preventing software conflicts from occurring. If the widget doesn't appear in a clean boot environment, check the section How to determine what is causing
the problem by performing a clean boot for what to do next.

Note: To return your computer back to normal, check the section How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting.

Additionally, we've found similar threads where this happens with Dell devices. If your computer was manufactured by Dell, check if you have an app called
Dell Premier Color. If you have this app, follow these steps:

• If you can see this app icon in the taskbar or the system tray, right-click it and choose
  Disable Display Splitter.
• If it's not in your taskbar or system tray, launch the app from the Start menu.
  
• Click Advanced in the upper right corner.
• On the left panel, click Display Splitter.
• Uncheck Display Splitter on.

If your computer was manufactured by MSI, this happens when Desktop Partition is enabled in the
True Color app. To disable it, follow these steps:

• Launch the True Color app from the Start menu.
• Go to the Tools tab.
• Disable the Desktop Partition On option.

We look forward to your response and the results of the initial troubleshooting.
