Windows 10: Windows 10 - Inking & Typing personalization toggle UI to off cmd

Windows 10 Pro x64 1903

Settings > Privacy > Inking & Typing personalization
"Use your typing history and handwriting patterns to create a local user dictionary that makes better suggestions for you"

How do I programmatically set it to Off, while impacting in the UI?

I set the following registry keys, but the toggle remains at "On":
Code:

I used ProcessMonitor and RegShot to check the registry values that are set or changed, but I can't find any relevant ones other than those.
Logging off/rebooting doesn't make a difference.
Tried deleting the folder in "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Spelling" just in case but it made no difference either.
