Disable “weather” icon added to Windows 10 taskbar
From Ver.2004 onwards, we provide functions that display “weather” and news and interests on the taskbar of Windows 10. Suddenly, the weather forecast display is added to the taskbar, and mouseover of the weather reveals a large screen, which can be intrusive. If you don’t need the weather display or functionality, you can easily turn it off and disable News and Interests as well . It is also possible to display only the weather icon. This page introduces the display setting of “Weather” newly added to the taskbar. Please refer to the following page for how to delete the update notification of the blue icon.

You can change the content to be displayed by opening a special site from “Personalization Settings” and selecting what you are interested in.
The function added to the taskbar is characterized by customizing news and interests to display the screen rather than displaying “weather”.
