No, I have it too. Initially the update hosed my Outlook email client! Lots of complaining about it, but they appear to have fixed the issue. I still have my Outlook set to NO updates as I'm not sure about it yet. I believe this is something you can get rid of if you want... haven't looked into it yet. I use the weather app all the time and have it pinned to my taskbar. But this is something different.

Unfortunately that link doesn't say how to remove it from the taskbar, just how to turn features on and off.
To remove from the taskbar, right-click the empty space on the taskbar. Select News and interests. From there you can "show icon and text," "show icon only," or "turn off."

I must be getting taken to a different place because I went through each and every option and all I saw was how to turn news feeds on and off, turn information cards on and off and how to adjust some other features! Tomatoes aren't big enough to smell fumes!

Ah, yes... I did see that. I just didn't drill deeper! Tomato fumes are not the culprit here!

I agree, oldbroad. You can turn it off, but the feature is still there. I use the news app and a couple of others all the time from the Start button. I also use the Weather app and I'm assuming they are the same thing. I checked and they seem to be. I'm OK with the weather being there and plan on just ignoring the rest.

I was wondering about this thread then I updated my computers.. interesting though my Razer laptop has the additional weather and news feed on my task bar. But my Surface Pro 3 does not... interesting...

My Surface Pro does not either. The update is KB5003173 and it has not downloaded there yet.

Hi. With previous Windows Updates I've always selected the "Notify me they are available and I will download them when it suits me" type of option. Will I be able to do that with Win10 ?? Thanks. Mad

No, you won't, Mad. There were issues with people not downloading them and leaving too many computers out there vulnerable to attack. It also became difficult to push out new security patches on computers that weren't up to date. Windows 10 is very good with notifying you an update has been downloaded and allowing you to choose when you want to reboot your computer though.

Thanks, Draclvr .... but Drat !! Not very happy about that  I don't leave any of my computers "on" (even asleep or whatever) if I'm not using them - so I boot-up fresh when I DO want one on

I'm OK with that system as long as they don't decide to shut down and reboot when I'm in the middle of a game!

I've always found that "sunny" thing to be weird too! But what it means is that skies are clear. Dumb!
