1481504 2021-10-24 22:41:00 Since a recent update Windows has put a weather/news thingy next to the task bar, Seemed good at first but now realise that the news is often 3-4 days old, About as useful as a chocolate ashtray so I want to get rid of it. It is just below a messenger dialog box and a misclick opens it.
How do I uninstall it or at least stop it from starting with windows.
Have looked in CCleaner startup but nothing identifiable there.

1481505 2021-10-24 22:56:00 I assume you're on Windows 10?

Right-click anywhere on the taskbar then hover over "News and interests" then click on "Turn off"

That should do it.

Haha, haven't heard that one.
A chocolate ashtray would be ok in winter.....the burning end doesn't usually touch the surface of an ashtray...bit of a waste of chocolate though.....


About as useful as.....
a screen door on a submarine.
tits on a fly.
a concrete parachute.
an ashtray on a motorbike.
a one-legged man at an arse kicking contest.

Or, is there a way to do it?
