Disable Sports, Finance, Weather, or Traffic Cards in Taskbar Widget Feature

 

Disable Sports, Finance, Weather, or Traffic Cards

If you don’t want to see a certain widget card in particular, open the News widget and click the menu button (three dots in a circle) in the upper-right corner of the panel that you’d like to hide.

In the menu that appears, select “Hide Sports Card” (or whichever card it is). At release, there’s no way to disable the news feed portion of the widget.

You can also turn on and off different cards from a unified menu. To do so, click the three dots button in the upper-right corner of the widget window and select “Language and Content” from the menu.

The Edge browser will open and load an “Experience Settings” page on an MSN.com website that controls the preferences for the Windows 10 news widget. In the “Information Cards” section, flip the switches to “off” beside the cards that you want to hide. (You can also reenable hidden cards from this menu.)

After you make changes, open the widget in the taskbar again and click the circular “Refresh” button at the top.

Upon reload, the widget will reflect the settings that you made in the browser: Cards that you’ve hidden will disappear, and others that you’ve reenabled will show up again.

Note: If you’re logged in to a Microsoft account in your browser while changing your News widget settings but not logged in to the same Microsoft account in Windows 10, the settings on the MSN.com page will not work. In that case, you’ll need to log out of your Microsoft account in your browser, reload the MSN widget settings page, and then make the changes again. Reload the widget to make the settings take effect.
