Windows 10: How can I disable the Weather icon on taskbar? "News and Interests" is not listed.

My weather icon seems to be broken and never loads correct. It leaves just a newspaper icon:I would like to disable it and have searched for the problem. Most people suggest right-clicking the taskbar and going to News and Interests, but it is not an option for me:Others also suggest using GPEdit and also finding News and Interests, but that is also not listed:Lastly, I tried to disable it using the registry under:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\FeedsREG DWORD: ShellFeedsTaskbarViewModeAnd the value is already set to 2 which apparently means it is already disabled.H
