Windows 11 22H2 disable weather and news Widget in Taskbar

Hi All,

I have recently updated to Windows 11 22H2.

In the Taskbar there is the Weather and News Widget i don’t use.

Here is how to disable it.

Right click somewhere on your Taskbar and select “Taskbar settings” from the Contextmenu.

Disable “Widgets” - that’s all

It’s gone now 😊
