How do i get rid of these widget things?

Here's how to remove those unwanted widgets from your Windows 10 lock screen:

1. Go to Settings > Personalization > Lock Screen
2. Turn off “Show fun facts, tips, and more from Windows and Cortana on your lock screen”
3. Just below that, click on “Choose an app to show detailed status” and set it to None
4. If widgets also appear on your taskbar, navigate to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar and disable Widgets
5. Restart your PC to apply the changes

These steps will restore your lock screen to its classic look—just the time and date, without any distractions.

🛠️ Note: Some users have reported that Windows updates may re-enable these widgets. If that happens, you might need to repeat the steps or consider using Group Policy or Registry tweaks for a more permanent solution.

Let me know if you'd like help with those advanced options too.

If you're using Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can use the Group Policy Editor to permanently disable lock screen widgets and suggestions:

1. Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter
2. Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization
3. Double-click on “Do not display the lock screen”
4. Set it to Enabled, then click Apply and OK
5. Restart your computer to apply the changes

This will completely bypass the lock screen and take you directly to the sign-in screen, effectively removing all lock screen content—including widgets, tips, and fun facts.

🛡️ Note: This method disables the entire lock screen, not just the widgets.
