Blocking the feed from coming in at all is probably the way to go, as opposed to attempting to turn it off once it is incoming. Perhaps this has already happened - I don't read German, and so can't be sure - but someone needs to get this added to the O&O ShutUp10 requested features list as a priority in development. which instantly clears the error, but leaves Big Brother in the Systray~!Ĭorrect me if I am wrong, but I believe this new 'Widget' is scraping information to know what I am 'Interested' in, and certainly using Geo-Location because the Weather display is Localized~ Unfortunately, the 'fix' is to go back and 'Show.' the News&Interests widget. I can Cause the rendering issue and Correct it simply by using Turn Off - RtClick taskbar>News&Interests>Turn Off - if the icons are not scrambled immediately, just unlock the taskbar and drag it to the Side and back to the Bottom of the screen. I cannot say that others have the same issue, but ALL THREE of the faulted systems I work on have the same issue and resolution *(albeit an incomplete Resolution - I would prefer to Un-Install the News&Interests entirely) I maintain multiple 'family' machines remotely, and now have THREE that have had the Taskbar Icons *(aka: systray) totally corrupted by this Update. To disable the News and Interests widget, right-click on an empty portion of your taskbar, select ' News and interests,' and then click on ' Turn off.' The good news is that if you are not a fan of the News and Interests feature, you can quickly turn it off. does anyone know of a fix for this?," a user posted on Reddit.


"Rebooted and it happened again so that didn't help, most likely cause of my taskbar bugging out is this "new" weather widget I got with this update, which I've already turned off, but the fact that this still happens. Others have also reported that the News and Interests feature still has previously reported bugs that mess up the display of the taskbar and its notification icons. In response to the mass install, BleepingComputer has seen numerous tweets and posts where people ask how to disable the widget or are confused about why it is being displayed. However, as most Windows users do not install the preview updates, many Windows 10 devices did not get the new feature until Microsoft released yesterday's June 2021 Patch Tuesday mandatory cumulative updates. Starting with last month's Windows 10 preview cumulative updates, Microsoft enabled News and Interests for all users running Windand later.
