    This could be the News and Interests widget or Widgets panel that Microsoft introduced on Windows 10/11.

    Disable the News and Interests feature in Taskbar settings, and enable “Merge taskbar buttons” in Taskbar behavior to restore the Quick Launch area.

    Right click on the taskbar → Taskbar settings→ turn off Widgetsto hide.
