How to disable the weather widget on the Windows 11 taskbar

  In a recent Windows 11 Insider update, Microsoft made several interesting changes and one of those changes is the weather icon, just like the one we see in Windows 10 News and Interests. However, not all of us are interested in this feature and one very positive thing is that you can disable the  Weather on the Windows 11 taskbar how?  It is very simple and we will explain several ways to achieve it a little more.

  How to activate the weather widget on the taskbar

  Download the app

  We must consider that this weather widget is not available to everyone.  If we want to live this experience, we will have to use Albacore's ViveTool, which allows us to activate the function manually.  For this we will have to download the latest version from GitHub.

  delete all

  Once the ZIP file has been downloaded, we will have to right-click on the file explorer and choose the option “Extract All”.

  check up

  Next, we will click on "Browse".

  Choose a folder

  Now we will have to locate Windows > System32 and then we will click on Select Folder in the lower right part of this window.

  Find the folder

  Once we choose the path, we will simply press "Extract" so that all this content will be transferred to the folder we chose earlier. .

  Open Command Prompt

  Now we will press the Windows key, type “cmd” and click on “Run as administrator” in the right pane.

  CMD  commands

  In the Command Prompt window, we will copy and paste the following codes individually, which means we have to do it one by one.

      vivetool addconfig 36553793 2

      vivetool addconfig 36226456 2

      Vive Tool Adconfig 36226054 2

      vivetool addconfig 34301415 2

  The last step we need to do is to update the web experience package.  To do this, we go to the Microsoft Store, change the "Library" section and press the "Update" button.

  to update

  If the taskbar is centered, we will see the tool on the left side.  In the event that we decide to customize the start menu and taskbar on the left, the weather icon will replace the widget icon in the center.
