I'm a Johnny-Come-Lately to Windows 11, so I'm still just finding my way around the interface.

When I boot up in the morning I'm presented with a row of clickbait buttons. For example, this morning, one of them was for an aerial view of British Columbia. I'm sure that video is very beautiful, but I would prefer an uncluttered display when I boot up. Can you tell me how to disable that feature?

To remove widgets from your Windows 11 lock screen, go to Settings > Personalization > Lock screen, then find the "Lock screen status" dropdown and select None, which turns off all widgets like weather and news for a cleaner look. You can also disable "fun facts, tips, and more" in the same area for a fully minimalist display.

Wow! That was fast! Thanks for the speedy response.

I just turned off the "fun facts" option, so when I boot up tomorrow I'll find out if that worked.
