Windows 11: Disable weather widget button in the taskbar
In Windows 11, the Widgets icon can display the weather, as well as notifications about sports, finance, and breaking news. Hovering over the icon also opens the Widgets dashboard, similar to the News & Internet widget available in Windows 10.
While this feature might be useful for some, it's not for everyone as it brings unnecessary distractions and you may accidentally open it when you hover over it. (You can disable this behavior now). If you don't want the weather or other information provided by the taskbar, Windows 11 provides an option to remove the icon via the Taskbar settings page. You can also disable the feature in the Registry or Local Group Policy Editor.
In this guide, I will show you the steps to add or remove widget icon from taskbar on Windows 11.
