SOLVED: Bug or my mistake?
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.
I agree, there is no list of IDs and no description of what the do and activate, is not worth wasting time with.
I let MS activate the features when they decide on the insider builds.
Just this specific one News and Interest was really annoying opening up on its own.
I just turned it off. 
Then I tried to figure out why all these different behaviors...., but I already had enough of it 
The other problem is that after running chkdsk C: /F, the stupid features disappear. ???
It's really not a big deal lol
you can turn it off easily by right-clicking on the taskbar,
if you use VPN specially with US server IP address, chances of getting these features will be higher, but you have to make sure VPN is connected at startup (before any other program has access to Internet) all the way to the shut down/restart.
there are a couple of VPNs that do that, they have firewall and a kill switch.one of them i personally tried is Windscribe. there is even a way to get free 10GB trials forever 😉
