That has started to appear randomly in the bottom right corner of my screen. Is there any way to make it go away forever?

Before anyone says “get a Mac”, don’t bother.

Turn it off. (From memory: Right click on taskbar / News & Interests / Turn off)

Don't seem to have "News and interests" on my W10 laptop, maybe it's not installed on Pro versions?

I was assuming it's one of the new "features" of Win11.

More than anything, I use that M$ window as a quick link to get traffic reports. A lot of the news headlines are hyped up nonsense to me, it's even more scary if I click a news link and then browse the news items links under that article.

But rarely, something pops up that peeks my interest, like that huge two tonne Sunfish rescued just off Spain before the weekend! 😮
