Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021

Describe your issue

I noticed that the autounattend.xml file is set to have the Search bar in the Taskbar hidden (-Value 0), and yet it still appears as visible and available after Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 has been installed. The settings below look right, but something didn't work.

        Set-RegistryValue -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search' -Name 'SearchboxTaskbarMode' -Type 'DWord' -Value 0 -Description 'Choose how the Windows search appears on your taskbar: hidden, icon only, icon with label, or full search box'

        Set-RegistryValue -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search' -Name 'SearchboxTaskbarMode' -Type 'DWord' -Value 0 -Description 'Choose how the Windows search appears on your taskbar: hidden, icon only, or full search box'

Steps to reproduce the issue

Use the autounattend.xml file when installing Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021.

Expected behavior

The Search bar in the Taskbar should be gone.

Actual behavior

The Search bar in the Taskbar is visible and available after Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 has been installed using the autounattend.xml file.
