Right click on the taskbar. This is the desktop taskbar and has the Start menu icon.

If the taskbar is displayed at the top, left, or right side of the screen, you won’t see a “News and interests” option in the menu. You can only add icons/weather information when the taskbar is displayed at the bottom of the screen. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Click Show icon and text (Show icons and information) or Show icon (Show icons). If you don’t see an option, you’re probably using an older version of Windows 10 that doesn’t have the “News and Interests” feature.

You can update your computer when you want to use this feature.

Customize weather icons. Click the icon, then select Edit location and unit , then you can choose whether to use Celsius or Fahrenheit. Click Save .

Right-click the taskbar again to decide whether you want “News and Interests” to open when you place your cursor over the weather icon. If you feel that “News and Interests” displayed on the taskbar is causing your computer to slow down, right-click the taskbar, then select News and interests > Reduce taskbar updates . ^{[2] X Trusted Source Microsoft Support Go to Source}
