Uninstall Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, 10 (2024)

In Windows 11, you can remove the Widgets feature using a PowerShell command. In this guide, I'll show you how to do it. Widgets is the interface that appears when you click the weather icon on the taskbar, use the Windows Key + Q keyboard shortcut, or swipe from the left side of the screen to access your personalized feed (news, weather, sports, stocks, etc.). While the feature may be useful for some, it's not for everyone as it creates unnecessary distractions to your workflow.

You can remove the button from the taskbar, change the settings to prevent widgets from opening accidentally, or even disable the news feed, but the feature will remain available.

If you don't find widgets useful, you can uninstall the feature entirely using PowerShell (thanks, Bob, for the tip). (If you change your mind, you can reinstall it.)
