I am a Linux user who runs Windows on an Oracle VirtualBox VM. I'd been running a Windows 8.1 VM that I've had to retire as the OS reached EOL at the end of 2022. I've bought a copy of Windows 11 Home, and it's more or less setup.
I'm not big on the new Windows 11 taskbar, but when I reinstalled the Windows 10 bar, File Explorer started crashing any time I tried to view a folder's contents. I had to put the Windows 11 bar back.
The Windows 11 taskbar weather widget is nice, but it keeps popping up full screen, and it's irritating me. I know how to disable all widgets in Win 11, but I don't want to do that. I like having the current conditions showing, I just want to stop this from happening when I leave my pointer on the widget.
Does anyone know a way to disable this popup/preview?
This is kind of what I had in mind. It adds a 30 second delay to any previews on the Windows 10 taskbar. I'd love to do something similar to this Windows 11 widget.

The following regedit puts a 30 second delay on all Windows 10 taskbar previews, including the weather widget (or whatever it's called in Windows 10)

Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
Right-click in the white space in the right pane, select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name the value ExtendedUIHoverTime. Then modify this value to 30000 and save.
