Feb 12, 2021SOLVED: Bug or my mistake?
I installed build 21313, and the News and Interests feature is still not available to me. So I used a command that I had already used in previous versions, which enabled this feature (here)....

I had the same problem yesterday and gave up waiting, ended up restoring an image that had the feature enabled.
Not sure what they changed, but the commands to enable the feature did not seem to work correctly like they did in the previous builds.

I found out what really happened, but it works only as long as the computer is not restarted, if you need to restart the computer you need to perform the procedure again:
Activate the feature with ViveTool's "activate news feed.cmd" bat, restart, click on the taskbar context menu and select the option to display News and Interests. This procedure needs to be done only once.
Now comes the boring part: the problem shown in the image above happens, right? the trick here is to deactivate using "deactivate news feed.cmd" and then activate again with "activate news feed.cmd", all without restarting ok? doing so, News and Interests will return to display the news.
But if you restart the computer you will have to run the deactivate and activate commands again. As I leave my notebook practically all the time or hibernating or in sleep mode, sometimes I spend 1 week without restarting, so I don't suffer so much from the problem of having to run these commands all the time... but for those who use a PC without an external battery, they will have to do it practically every time.
We won't have this problem when we are awarded the official version, hehe
- HotCakeXFeb 14, 2021MVPGood job,
when i activated this i only used 2 codes, now this bat files runs 5-6 codes, not sure what's different- fggIBFeb 24, 2021Steel Contributor
The hidden feature IDs are different in build 21318 than the ones that were used with build 21286, I just listed them all with vivetools on one computer that was working and then activated the same IDs in the one I needed, after deactivating the ones that did not work.
I also noticed a variant from the original version. Now it does not open the flyout by just hovering on the taskbar icon you actually need to click on the icon, the same as all the other icons on the taskbar, that is much better.
Here is the list of the IDs I found for Build 21318.

pause- HotCakeXFeb 24, 2021MVPThanks,
yes I have the variant that needs to be clicked on to open the flyout,
but I don't use these methods, for testing purposes might be fun but I use insider build as my daily OS and don't want my system to send corrupted or abnormal diagnostic data back to the server.
and there are lots of IDs to track, in my opinion not worth it.
there are lots of other stuff that are "controlled feature rollouts", such as the new touch keyboard candidates, clipboard Pin feature and Paste as text, the new Voice typing design.
