How to Customize Your Taskbar Widget News Feed

Reload the widget to make the settings take effect. In that case, you’ll need to log out of your Microsoft account in your browser, reload the MSN widget settings page, and then make the changes again. RELATED: How to Get Windows 10's Taskbar Weather Widget Back Note: If you’re logged in to a Microsoft account in your browser while changing your News widget settings but not logged in to the same Microsoft account in Windows 10, the settings on the MSN.com page will not work. Upon reload, the widget will reflect the settings that you made in the browser: Cards that you’ve hidden will disappear, and others that you’ve reenabled will show up again. (Even the widget’s weather card opens an MSN weather website instead of Windows 10’s built-in Weather app.)

A page with more details will load on MSN.com in the Edge browser. If you want to see more information about weather, stocks, or the other cards, click the card itself. If you scroll down, you’ll also see news stories pulled automatically from the web. These cards show sports scores, stock prices, weather forecasts, or local traffic. The News and Interests widget starts out with different panels of information called “cards” that are enabled by default. RELATED: What Is the Latest Version of Windows 10? How to Use and Configure Widget Cards Tip: If you’ve previously disabled the widget, you can get it back by right-clicking your taskbar, pointing to “News and interests,” and selecting either “Show icon and text” or “Show icon.” If you don’t see the News and Interests option in your taskbar’s context menu, you’re likely running an older version of Windows 10 without this feature. If you don’t see the widget in your taskbar, you’ll need to update to the latest version of Windows. To open the widget fully, hover your mouse cursor over it (or click it). By default, the widget will display the current temperature for your location and a very brief weather forecast in the taskbar itself.
