Windows 11: How to Hide / Change the Windows 11 Widget [A-ha
Windows 11 has a lot of cool features but the automatic display of your feed / widgets is not one of them (in my opinion.) In this quick video, I’ll show you how to keep it the feed from displaying automatically or remove the widget altogether.
The problem:
Whenever you get close to where the Start button used to be, 40% of your screen fills with news and stuff you don’t care about at the moment. A few days after Windows 11, I thought I could get used to it, but I couldn’t. I found it to be very sensitive and would open even when I was working in another program and just got too close to that corner. So….
The solution:
We have 2 options: We can hide it completely or keep it but prevent it from displaying automatically.
If you don’t want the widget on the taskbar at all, you can remove it by going to Settings - Personalization - Taskbar (or just use the search box to search: widget). From the Settings pane, set the feature to off.
To keep the widget, so you can access it by choice, but not have it automatically display when you get near it:
1. Click on the widget to display the feed
2. In the upper right corner, you’ll see what looks like your User Account image. Click it to access Widget Settings.
3. From there you can manage your Widget Settings and, most importantly, turn off the setting to display on hover.
