How do I remove or disable the My Feed fly-over window? I can remove it from the Edge browser home page but not from my computer. The fly-over window has widgets, my feed, watch and play tabs. It blocks my work and is very disruptive. Every time I move my cursor even slightly from left to right, the fly-over window blocks my screen. This has caused a tremendous loss of time and productivity, interrupts my creative flow, and creates unnecessary stress. This is not the same thing as removing the Bing Side Bar. That appears to be something else entirely though I have been successful at removing that. Please help me remove this useless fly-over window from my computer and my life! I tried to send a screenshot but it showed an error message instead.

Experiencing the very same, the 'widgets' are switched off, but still the fly-over news screen would turn up from the left side of the screen.
This is the flyover that I want to get rid of. I don't need the weather, or widgets or news. I just want to be able to use my computer without intrusive interruptions like this flyover.
I have turned off everything that I can find to get this flyover to stop completely. I dont have widgets on my taskbarr. I dont use Bing or Edge. I dont want this flyover at all. I'm pretty tech savvy but this one must require a programmer to fix! While creating this brief message the flyover has appeared no less than a dozen times -- any time I move my cursor from left to right, even the slightest movement. I'm ready to buy a different operating system if this cant be fixed soon!
Hi,
Are you referring to the windows widgets that flyout from the left?
a screenshot of the flyout might help identify it, (there is a fault in the Community, that is preventing some users from including a screenshot on the opening post, you should be able to edit the post to add a screenshot, or add one to a reply)
you can turn the Windows widgets off, removing them from the taskbar.
right click on the taskbar and select Taskbar Settings turn off Widgets.
or
Windows widgets will open when the mouse hovers over the task bar widgets item.
you can prevent it from opening on hover.
open widgets by hovering over the taskbar item,
click on you avatar in the top right
turn off "open widgets board on hover"
to open widgets in future you will need to click on the taskbar item.
Sorry for the delay,
can you confirm that Widgets is turned off in
Windows Settings ->personalisation -> taskbar
widgets are off
