Microsoft turned Windows 11’s lock screen into MSN hell, now it’s undoing most of it

Microsoft removed MSN cards (Sports, Money, Daily Wonder and others) from the Windows 11 lock screen, which now shows only weather by default. The change appeared in the September 8 patch and was added to the changelog on September 14; other widgets can be restored manually in settings.

• Only the weather widget remains on the lock screen by default
• Other widgets are added via Settings > Personalization > Lock screen
• Change was in the September 8 patch and described in September 14 notes
• MSN widgets began appearing on the lock screen in March 2024
