My lock screen has a widget at the bottom - news, weather, etc. It used to show the stock market ticker, but now where that used to be is sports scores. Interestingly enough, this started right after the market started rebounding. When everything was in the red, the stock widget was front and center; after it went green - poof - all gone, here are some basketball scores....

There is apparently no way to get it back. You either get the set they give you or you can turn it off and get nothing. It's not based on my browsing history or anything like that, the tweakers at MS just apparently don't want me seeing what the stock market is doing anymore.

:mad:

You can turn that off? :yay:
Pizzes me off that they think they know what I want better than I know what I want.

I always turn off all widgets. Memory hogs that slow me down. And they keep popping up as malware in my Bitdefender AV, which is appropriate for MIcrostuff crap.
