News and Interests on the Windows Taskbar

Also note that News and Interests has been a phased rollout as indicated in this article, Group configuration: news and interests on the Windows taskbar, published last month:
News and interests on the taskbar will begin rolling out to Windows 10 users today. We are taking a measured approach starting with the April 2021 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10, and broad availability will occur in phases. Devices running Windows 10, version 1909 (and later) who have installed the May 2021 Windows monthly update (or later) will be included in this phased rollout.

It seems quite variable whether the News and Interests item is included or not with the new 21H1 version. One of my systems has it, the other does not.

Via Bleeping Computer at Microsoft fixes Windows 10 'News and Interests' annoyances, News and Interests now has an "Open on hover" option in the submenu (right-click the Windows taskbar to access). You can then uncheck the default "Open on hover" setting.

Note that the "Open on hover" setting only appears after you have updated to: 2021-05 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5003214). At least that is my experience on a few of my PCs.
