Very interesting. This feature flag also appeared on latest Canary so might aswell make a new release to buy us some more time for this. Unfortunately I think this can only continue to exist on Windows 11 afterwards if MS decided to force that feature flag to be on :( |

okay this one took a few days to figure out
I had a feeling Microsoft changed something here, as the settings app now didn't show options for people on the taskbar, and also peopleband.dll in system32 was the last accessed dll as shown in process monitor.
I tried lots of things but in the end, I ran vivetool's feature scanner on my windows 10 system, which took hours and downloaded around 38GB of symbols. Finally, I obtained a list of this build's hidden feature switches. I loaded the list into vivetool gui and searched for people. I was right.
DeprecatePeopleOnTaskbar: 47691186
set to enabled. turned that off and rebooted.I had a people icon on my taskbar now, and the option appeared in settings, but no weather yet. I checked
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ExplorerPatcher\twinui.pcshell
in regedit, and a lot of the values were still just 0 like before, so I deleted the folder and restarted explorer with the gui to let it redownload symobls. The weather widget finally showed up. mission accomplished.Tl;dr
to fix on windows 10:

with vivetoolComputer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ExplorerPatcher\
in regeditIn addition, I also found a code to reenable the timeline view everyone seems so desperate to have back. works fine.
