Supported QGIS version

• I'm running a supported QGIS version according to the roadmap.

New profile

• I tried with a new QGIS profile

Additional context

I believe this was happeing already with the previews version, but I didn't report it.

Using the OSGeo4W works fine

It might be fixed by #50443

Once merged, could you please try with the new fixed version ?

[SrNetoChan]

Yes I will.

I will create an appointment on my calender so I don't forget.

I have just updated a manual test case to include checking the news feed:

I have confirmed with 3.22.12 and the news feed now works correctly both in the msi and OSGeo4w installation. Thanks @troopa81 !!
