Open Registry: Press Windows key + R then type in:

Dear Bernard,

This doesn't work for me. I simply can't add it and even if I managed to, I doubt it would've fixed it...

When I try to add this ShellFeedsTaskViewMode it won't allow me to add this in the registry editor.

I get this Error code.

So I am stuck with this.

I can't get rid of it no matter what I do. This happened after installing the latest Cumulative Update for Windows 10 21H2 LTSC Evaluation version.
