How to Enable or Disable the News and Interests Taskbar Windows 10

The latest updates to Windows 10 has now enabled the News and Interests taskbar by the clock on Windows 10.  Right away this started generating questions from staff on what it is or why it was turned on.   Again Microsoft pushes something out that you may not want running.

Since the GPO ADMX for it doesn't seem to be working on Windows 10 Professional, here is a quick command you can run that will make an immediate registry change and turn it off.

reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Feeds" /v ShellFeedsTaskbarViewMode /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

This fully hides it.  If however you want it back on change the DWORD value.  Enter 0 (show icon and text) or 1 (show icon only).
