You can right click anywhere on the taskbar and select News & Interests > Turn Off. How dare these baskets make life so difficult...

Tried that and it showed up again.
I even uninstalled the app, But it still came up after a restart.
I could not find the "EXE" either

I don't like all the info it's collecting.

That News and Interest App, is included in that big 21H1 bug fix patch (the 3214 one).

You assume they didn't try that - I can untick the option to show the Windows Welcome screen but it will still pop up again at random whenever it feels like, etc.

Yeah ive still gotten it after unticking to show the bugger too.

That's strange. I hid it and it doesn't come back.

It's all very well disabling it, but I'd rather it wasn't installed at all. So far I haven't found a way of uninstalling it yet.

When did the Search change to 'Search For Anything', from 'Type Here To Search' ?

I'd love to know why Microsoft thinks "AMD - Other hardware - PCI bus" is optional on an Intel laptop.

Detesting the new File Explorer layout in the preview builds, which has the new Fluent Desig look. Changed the layout to compact, as the empty space was just wasted screen space.

Fluent Design makes Windows looks even less professional now and more like a kid's toy. Are they doing this on purpose, because we didn't like their Windows phones?

You think that's bad how about the hidden service called "Intel(R) Telemetry Service" being started during the boot process on systems without any Intel hardware in them.

Sounds genius.

I've spent an hour trying to sort out a broken Taskbar, nearly verging on rolling back a 21H1 installation to 20H2 - only to find out it's a known bug in a recent update, caused by some bloat that nobody seems to want:
KB5003214 update is causing issues with Windows 10 taskbar

It would be an vast understatement to say that I am severely dischuffed. :mad:

Hopefully its fixed/replaced before it becomes mandatory, as ive not installed it.

Who knows but it's defiantly a Microsoft thing, scroll down to the related topics at the bottom, second link from the bottom.

From what I can gather, it's caused by the new News and interests feature on the taskbar. So watch it if you have that enabled.

I can't stand it anyway. I disabled it. If I want the weather it's on the iPads and iPhones.
