Hover your mouse over “News and interests” and uncheck the tick in front of “Open on hover”.

Right click on the weather toolbar/icon or an empty area of the Windows taskbar.

The popup will no longer open up immediately as you move your mouse pointer over the icon. The simple way to make the News and interests less annoying is to disable the popup from opening up on hover. Stop the “News & interests” from expanding on hover (when you bring your mouse pointer over it)

So, in case you’re looking to disable the weather toolbar or disable its launch on hover, you are at the right place. Similarly, in case you keep too many items on your taskbar, the weather toolbar is a clear wastage of the space on the taskbar. It expands up unintended during routine use of the computer, just because you moved your mouse over it. The feature is useful to keep an eye on how’s the weather outside while working on the computer, however, the default settings of the toolbar are interrupting and annoying.
