Microsoft announced during its Build 2023 developer keynote on May 24 that it will finally allow users to disable the Microsoft News feed that’s found in Windows 11’s widgets board via an update coming later this year, finally offering a layout that only shows your widgets.
Currently, the widgets board on Windows 11 doesn’t have an option to turn off the MSN feed, meaning your widgets are mixed with news and video stories pulled in from the Microsoft News website.
It’s now December, and I still cannot switch off this junk. My only option is to disable widgets alltogether. This force feeding of your content has poisened Bing, which used to be beautiful and useful, and now even Edge.
Suggestion: remove MSN content from all Microsoft products and then remove MSN personell from Microsoft. They have the reverse Midas touch.
Vielleicht kommt der Schalter erst wenn die grossen Enterprise Installationen auf Windows 11 migirieren und die Unternehmen das einfordern. (Oder gibt es den Schalter schon für “Enterprise 11” und der Merge in die Consumer Version fehlt noch…?)
I had to reinstall Win11 (23H2) some days ago from scratch and used Raphire’s Win11 debloat script then https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat/blob/master/README.md
Very easy to configure and removes all that annoying stuff.
