Windows 11 Widget Remove "Money Insight" Notification

ybnice · Oct 29, 2023

This has got me stumped. I have all that I want to show and get notifications for except can find no way to shut off Notification for "Money Insight". A Red Alert on Widgets Icon in the Taskbar appears. When I open it is showing in the top Notification area . I have blocked all Money and Finance in Experience and Notifcation Settings but still keep getting the "Money Insight" showing. Thanks if somebody can help.

I got so frustrated with being forced to look at finance and other things I didn’t want, I removed the Widgets., I’ll be watching this. Cheers.

Try this, open Widgets and select your profile picture. Select Manage interest, Under discover interest select more. In the new page that opens (Microsoft start) select Notifications. Scroll down to Finance and turn off Stocks then turn off Get all finance notifications.

Thanks but already tried that as I mentioned above and does not work for turning off "Money Insight". I have actually turned off everything but 4 Widgets (none of which have anything to do with Money or Finance). I do not have a problem with any of them or any other Notification popping up that I have not selected.

Yes, this doesn't work. You can turn off and not follow anything financial and are still forced to see this stuff. It is very annoying. If it doesn't get fixed in the next few days I will just remove the entire thing. Maybe even go to linux.

Did you turn off Stocks first before turning off 'Get all finance notification'? It works for me.

You’ll move over to Linux because of a widget? You must really hate money

Yeah, well it is a culmination of stuff. This just another windows annoyance that shouldn't be. I really appreciate your help though. I don't hate money, just windows BS and dumb ass replies to posts that offer no help.

Like stating you’ll move to Linux over a widget?

LOL.. go foodle yourself. I really thought this forum might be useful, but now I realize it is full of flipping idiots posting passive aggressive replies to folk wanting some help. What a flipping wank fest. I''m done with this forum. I hope you find some help for your issues, flower.

In my opinion, my observation was fair, it is an extreme position to take to want to move to an entirely different operating system due to a widget that apparently made your decision to migrate almost final. (Also, I made myself laugh, so good on me)
You opinion of it being a “dumb ass reply” is fair enough, although I disagree.

Judging an entire forum because one guy found your threat to leave Windows (on a windows forum) is also extreme, you are an extreme person. And quite possibly a tad angry. But you do you. Cheers.

Thanks for the help but it does not work. Still receiving the "Money Insight" notification. Hoping this gets fixed by Microsoft as currently it is forcing us (for those who are using the Windows 11 Widget) to show this notification.
