1 month ago I am having the same issue. Did all his steps, ViVe Tool, machine, default and user region registry tweaks (they were already set when launching the app in order to set to Europe Mode).
I enabled some configs in C:\Windows\System32\IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json such as:
Added "US" to Region just in case there was a leftover US region somewhere.
I am still not getting Widgets to open a link (i.e. Weather) in my default browser, nor any of the EEA features. Uninstall Edge is still greyed out.
I am on 23H2 build 22631.3593
I'd be glad to provide with any info I could on why setting region to an EEA country seems not to work.

yeah i tried it a few times ... I also ran vive tool after the initial 4 tries with just msedgeredirect in an elevated command prompt with switches /enable /id:43699941 and as a separate command with 44353396 then rebooted still no uninstall edge or ms copilot
i also tried running a repair on edge
tried running vivetool again along with setting to germany again and rebooted and still nothing
i set all the location settings to germany under the clock settings and rebooted still nothing
i tossed it on a vpn pointing at germany and redid the vive tool and setting the euro settings and a reboot with the vpn connecting upon login and still nothing
