I cannot add RSS feeds anymore in Outlook 2024

This worked before. I tried various RSS links, it is not the link, it loads fine in a web browser. 
I think it is related to the connectivity. I am using Outlook 2024 as part of Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business with Google Workspace Sync for Outlook.

This might be either due to this Google Sync, but my suspicion is that it is related something else preventing the connection being made because I can see in the Windows Event Viewer events like this:

.NET Runtime version 4.0.30319.0 - There was a failure initializing profiling API attach infrastructure.  This process will not allow a profiler to attach.  HRESULT: 0x80004005.  Process ID (decimal): 25344.  Message ID: [0x2509].

 

Anyone know how can I enable tracing and debug this issue? Anyone knows what's causing this?

    The new version of Outlook has removed native RSS support. We recommend switching to Feedly or browser subscription extensions and forwarding emails to Outlook to simulate RSS feed reception.

    It seems I have resolved the issue by enabling connected experiences in the Privacy Setting

    What I tried so far

    Synchronize RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List (CFL) in Windows is checked
    I had completely removed GWSMO
    I have configured another IMAP email in Outlook and I had the same problem
    Step 3 Go to File > Account Settings -> RSS Feeds tab -> Select a feed and click Change Folder is not possible because I need at least one RSS feed but I cannot add a new feed

    I have enabled Outlook Logging but I could not see anything relevant in the .log files
    I have also installed Windows Performance Analyzer in order to be able to read the .etl files but all I could see is a Microsoft.Windows.MicrosoftAccount.TBProvider error. Please notice that I do not have Microsoft Store installed and I am using a local account

    Take this to locate and fix:

     

    Step 1: Enable RSS Feed Sync in Outlook

    • Go to File > Options > Advanced
    • Scroll to RSS Feeds
    • Make sure “Synchronize RSS Feeds to the Common Feed List (CFL) in Windows” is checked

    Step 2: Check Send/Receive Settings

    • Go to Send/Receive > Send/Receive Groups > Define Send/Receive Groups
    • Ensure RSS feeds are included and scheduled to sync every 30–60 minutes

    Step 3: Change RSS Feed Folder

    • Go to File > Account Settings > RSS Feeds tab
    • Select a feed and click Change Folder
    • Choose a local PST folder (not one managed by GWSMO)

    Step 4: Enable Outlook Logging

    To trace deeper issues:

    • Go to File > Options > Advanced
    • Scroll to Other and check “Enable troubleshooting logging”
    • Restart Outlook and reproduce the issue
    • Logs will be saved to:
      C:\Users\<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Temp\Outlook Logging

    Step 5: Update or Reinstall GWSMO

    • Download the latest version from Google’s official GWSMO portal
    • Reinstall and reconfigure the sync profile
    • Ensure GWSMO isn’t blocking Outlook’s access to local storage or feeds
