I had the same issue starting this morning...
go to settings/lock screen settings
go down to where it says "get fun facts ..." Make sure that is off.
Just below that it says "choose one app to show..."
click on the plus and change it to "None"
On my computer, it still had the default selection of "Weather and more" but I didn't see any before because I had the button above it turned off but now it seems that you also have to select "None" for the widgets to go away.

Thank you so much for that.. have had all sorts of advice and locked up my computer.. simple and effective... but how on earth did you find out?
.. just checking... Microsoft had set it to "Show weather and more."
