Brink,
About "You can still add and remove News and Interests icon on taskbar."
You'll need to incorporate the WinQ content into this tutorial now that it's been vaporized.
All the best,
Denis
Not sure if you edit these, but I was looking into how to get this working for setting up new users when deploying Windows 10 machines. Unfortunately, these settings weren't saving with the normal approach (editing NTUSER.dat). Turns out there is a need for including an additional registry value.
Found the solution here:

So, perhaps add it to this tutorial or those that may be looking for the solution in setting up new user profiles with News and Interests Enabled/Disabled.
What's the difference between this tutorial
How to Enable or Disable News and Interests on Taskbar in Windows 10
Which sets this group policy (GPO):
> Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, and News and interests.
and which sets these registry keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\NewsAndInterests\AllowNewsAndInterests]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Feeds]
and this tutorial
Add or Remove News and Interests icon on Taskbar in Windows 10
Which turns the icon off in settings
> Settings - Personalization - Taskbar - News and interests - Show news and interests on the taskbar
and which sets this registry key value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Feeds
