How to turn off the weather widget on Windows 11

When Windows 11 was first introduced, the operating system's widgets system was still relatively sketchy. For example, the original Windows 11 did not have a widget to display weather information in the taskbar like on Windows 10.

 However, things have been added gradually over time through updates. The weather widget is now displayed in the lower left corner of the screen (in contrast to Windows 10).

Most people are not bothered by the appearance of this add-on. But if you are an exception, this article will show you how to hide the weather widget on Windows 11.

Turn off weather widget on Windows 11

The way widgets work in Windows 11 is basically very similar to Windows 10. They not only display weather information, but also provide users with a variety of other necessary content such as news, interests, etc. The process of disabling these utilities is also very simple. You just need to follow the steps below:

Step 1: Right-click an empty area on the taskbar and select Taskbar Settings in the menu that appears.

Step 2: You will be redirected to the Windows 11 Settings application. Click the Taskbar items item to expand the options.
