Windows 10: How do I turn off "Microsoft Start" completely? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Of course, if all of the news and interests functionality added as part of the ongoing evolution of Windows is not something a user wants, it can easily be disabled so that it doesn't appear in the taskbar. To do this, it's simply a case of right-clicking on a blank area of the taskbar bar, hovering the cursor over the 'News and interests' menu item, and selecting 'Turn off.'

In this sub-menu, it's also possible to choose whether to see an icon with text or just an icon on the news and interests button, to reduce the number of updates, and whether or not the tray will open when hovered over.

Solution 2:

Go to Start, Settings, Apps, Apps and Features and scroll down to the Microsoft Start App.

Click on the App, select Uninstall and uninstall the App.

Restart and it should be gone.
