From June 2021 Microsoft introduced the `[Weather Widget]` on Windows 10. Given that it takes up space on the taskbar [url https://www.howtogeek.com/734461/windows-10s-weather-widget-is-a-mess.-is-windows-11-next/ and is a huge mess], you might want to remove it.

This is how:

1. Right-click on an empty spot in the taskbar
