Turn Off News and Interests

If you get a surprising new feature popping up in your taskbar from a Windows update, such as suddenly appearing weather reports or news items, it is a new 'feature' from Windows... read 'annoyance' from Windows.

However, this 'feature' has the great advantage of being able to be turned off, with - for Windows - relative ease.

Simply right click on the task bar, and select "News and Interests" from the pop-up menu. Go out go to "Turn off".

Job done.
