Windows 10: Microsoft Rewards icon and balance not showing in search bar anymore

In the past it used to show the MS Rewards balance but now it dissapeared. I've already enabled MS Account under History and Permissions settings

How to remove Microsoft Rewards balance

When I click "Type here to search" in the taskbar, an ad at the top of the search window counts up to 5 to show me my "Microsoft Rewards balance." This would already be an intrusive ad even without it moving, but the animation of it counting 1, 2, 3, 4,
5 every time I go to search is very distracting. Is there any way to remove this? I paid more than $1,000 for this computer only to be met with ads?
