MSI Center is pinned in my Windows 10. I can't unpin it. How can I unpin MSI Center in Windows 10?

What I tried:

Closing doesn't help:

Editing C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml to remove all mentions of "MSI Center" and restarting Windows doesn't help.

Removing C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml and restarting Windows doesn't help.

Using this Batch script from thewindowsclub.com to remove all pinned applications doesn't help:

DEL /F /S /Q /A "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar\*"
REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband /F
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe & start explorer

Note that C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\DefaultLayouts.xml has no mentions of "MSI Center".

Go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutModification.xml and remove the line:

<taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="9426MICRO-STARINTERNATION.MSICenter_kzh8wxbdkxb8p!App" />

Then restart Windows.
