This all started sometime on Tuesday 8/2 and I found the registry key that Windows keeps changing are underComputer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Feeds\FeedRepositoryStateThe LandingPageURL keeps reverting back to "https://www.msn.cn:443/zh-cn/feed" The Locale value gets changed back to "zh-cn"The FlyoutURL changes to "https://windows.msn.cn:443/shell"No matter if I change it in reg edit, everytime it refreshes the feed it will change them back to the above.

Try specifying a particular location instead (Step 1, 2 and 5):

News and Interests not showing weather on taskbar

When I display N&I i don't get the weather icon. I get the icon shown below. Clicking on this icon does bring up some feeds but the weather is not one of them. Is there something else I need to do to get the weather icon? I think when N&I first became available the weather icon was there. Perhaps something I changed in Windows is now preventing it from showing.
