Nov 14
I upgraded to windows 11, and there are the new widgets. But I don't like the news widget that comes by default and want to remove it. Is there any way to do that?

Widgets are in the Task Bar (Much different than Windows 10).
Right click on the Task Bar, and click on Settings.
Turn Widgets OFF
The app is benign if turned off so no need to uninstall. The related App is Microsoft News and Features in Apps and Features (Start, Settings). Microsoft News and Features App can be uninstalled.
If you wish to Uninstall Microsoft News, you can do that in Apps. Start, Settings, Apps, Apps and Features and then scroll down to Microsoft News. Three vertical dots beside News, click on that and Uninstall.
Please use care as this may have a side effect on Widgets.

You may also need to set Notifications and Focus Assist (depending on how you set up) if you are getting notifications you do not want.
I just have this stuff in the background in Windows 11 and do not see anything.
