If your taskbar is located at the top, left, or right of your screen, you will not see the “News and interests” option in the menu.

Instead of turning it off completely, you can decide if you want “News and Interests” to open when you hover your mouse over the weather icon. If you find that having “News and Interests” on your taskbar is slowing down your computer, right-click the taskbar, hover over News and interests > Reduce taskbar updates.
