Microsoft has confirmed a known issue causing the text on the "News and Interests" Windows Taskbar to get blurry after installing recent Windows 10 updates.
"After installing KB5001391 or later updates, the news and interests button in the Windows taskbar might have blurry text on certain display configurations," Microsoft said.
Impacted platforms include only the following client Windows versions: Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2; Windows 10, version 2004; Windows 10, version 1909.
The news feed feature was later backported to Windows 10 20H2 and 21H1 via preview releases of cumulative updates issued to the Beta and Release Preview rings.
The good news is that you can quickly disable it if you are not a fan of the new Windows 10 News and Interests feature.
To toggle off the News and Interests Windows taskbar widget, right-click on any empty portion of the taskbar, select 'News and interests,' and then click on the 'Turn off' option.
