Reposting from Windows 10: How do I turn off "Microsoft Start"? as none of the answers there works for me, as I'm still seeing this:

Although I've disabled everything according to the answers there:

How can I completely disable it?
The only option from there is Hide each tiles, yet I've hide many tiles but they just keep coming:

Again, reposting from Windows 10: How do I turn off "Microsoft Start"?:

Another pointless update, another stupid bloatware nobody asked for. And they gave it a name that makes googling for help impossible, due to the results all relating to either startup or the start menu. How do I get this stupid newsfeed off my taskbar, and why does it know my city when I turned off location services?

Neither answer from this page work either:

Of course, if all of the news and interests functionality added as part of the ongoing evolution of Windows is not something a user wants, it can easily be disabled so that it doesn't appear in the taskbar. To do this, it's simply a case of right-clicking on a blank area of the taskbar bar, hovering the cursor over the 'News and interests' menu item, and selecting 'Turn off.'

In this sub-menu, it's also possible to choose whether to see an icon with text or just an icon on the news and interests button, to reduce the number of updates, and whether or not the tray will open when hovered over.

Go to Start, Settings, Apps, Apps and Features and scroll down to the Microsoft Start App.

Click on the App, select Uninstall and uninstall the App.

Restart and it should be gone.
