Even on a professional laptop Microsoft places a news widget that forces unwanted political content and inane celebrity news on its users. In a previous post I showed how to remove this unwanted feature from Windows: Windows 11: Remove Microsoft News Widget. In the aforementioned blog, the winget command was used to remove the widget. Unfortunately winget is not available on every corporate version of Windows.
To remove this widget for the current user, perform the following PowerShell command:
Get-AppxPackage MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience |
Remove-AppxPackage
To remove for all users, perform the following PowerShell command while running as an administrator:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience |
Remove-AppxPackage -AllUsers
