You can check in the registry if the value IsFeedsAvailable at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Feeds
is present and set to 1

I don't see it in your screen copy...

For example, on my OS, which is Windows 10 Education 1909, not sure if it works too for Windows 10 Home... :
(ShellFeedsTaskbarViewMode is used too, for the user choice)

Hi,
If you don’t see the News and Interests option in your taskbar’s context menu, you’re likely running an older version of Windows 10 without this feature.
To get news and interests on your device, ensure you've installed the latest recommend updates for Windows 10. To manually check for updates, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for updates.
The fastest way to get the upgrade is through Media creation tool or ISO file.
Please download Media Creation Tool from the link below and select Upgrade this PC at the first screen:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

This will save your files and apps while bringing you up to the latest version by the most stable method. It will also bring all of your Updates current and solve most problems since it reinstalls Windows.

If you don’t already have this on your machine, you'll also need to ensure you have the latest version of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium installed. Get Microsoft Edge:

Hope above information can help you.
