lappir Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Noticed a new Icon to the bottom right of my computer (PC). Sort of a square box. I hovered over it and it said "not connected feed unavailable". ( I had not yet connected to my WIFI source.) Now it's showing a temperature and an incorrect weather reading. It's clearly overcast and raining but I see 65F and partly Sunny. Clicked on it, tried to remove it, tried to turn it off and the only thing it allowed me to do was make a comment. I DON'T LIKE IT. Is what I wrote. Doubt the reader will care.

DJW Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 lappir I have the same thing. It showed up about a week ago. Any ideal on how to get rid of it? Dennis Quote USA Master Sergeant Ret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I don't know how to get rid of it, but you CAN change the city it shows. Open it up and then in the blue box in the upper right-hand corner, click on the three dots and Edit Location.

Darryl&Rita Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 It's from the latest Microsoft update. It uses data, even when your machine is set to "Metered Data". Turn on or off weather info on Windows 10 taskbar. Step 1: Perform a right-click on an empty spot on the taskbar, select News and interests and then click the Turn off option to remove the weather information as well as the News and interests. Stop News & widgets flyout from opening upon hovering on taskbar weather information Above from Into Windows Quote I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

You should have heard me cursing at Microsoft and what I thought of them adding things to the desktop without permission. Or, maybe you shouldn't have. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed it to the zip code I am currently located in. Right now it says 90 degrees but my outside reading thermometer reads 104 degrees. This zip code has many different elevations so it can vary greatly in just a mile or two. The 104 is reading in directs sun at this time.

lappir Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thank you. Just turned mine off. I put off allowing the updates as long as possible, but it seems they somehow sneak in.
