Microsoft News is a handy feature for people who want to sneak peek at news headlines, weather, or the latest sports results at a glance. 

You can remove Microsoft news from the taskbar with minimum or no effort at all. However, you have several options. You have the privilege to fix the hover issue and still access Microsoft News. Likewise, you can remove the weather text to show only the icon in the taskbar and save the taskbar space.

Using the Taskbar

You can easily turn off Microsoft news in the three easy steps mentioned below.

  1. Right-click on the weather icon on the taskbar.
  2. Hover the cursor to News and interests.
  3. Click the Turn off option.

Using the Registry Editor

If the taskbar method doesn’t work for some reason, you can try an alternative method. You can tweak some settings in the Registry Editor to remove the Microsoft News and Interests. 

  1. Press Windows + R key, type regedit, and click on OK.
  2. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Feeds
  3. On the right pane, look out for ShellFeedsTaskbarViewMode and double-click it.
  4. Edit and set the value data to 2 with the base set to the Hexadecimal option.Microsoft-News-turn-off-using-registry-editor
  5. Click on OK. You can restart the system if necessary.
  6. Now, the News and Interest feature won’t appear on the taskbar. 

Uninstall Microsoft News

To uninstall Microsoft News,

  1. Press Windows + I key to open the Settings app.
  2. Click on Apps.
  3. Scroll and find the Microsoft News app.
  4. Click on it and select the Uninstall option.

  5. Again, click on Uninstall.

  1. Right-click on any blank area on the taskbar.
  2. Select the News and Interests option.
  3. Click on the Open on hover option.
