I'm trying to customize the taskbar for Win 11 laptops/PCs.

I've tried the XML, but still no luck.

Where should I apply this XML file, is it as an Intune custom object or Settings Catalogue?

If you got any working examples, please share with me.

Thanks

    Hi,

    XML file is not directly assignable as a file via OMA-URI. The only supported CSP is via the Settings Catalog, ADMX-backed policies, or SCCM. But best is to use Settings catalog.

    Here is example for XML - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/taskbar/pinned-apps?tabs=intune&pivots=windows-11#taskbar-layout

    And here are examples for Win11- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/taskbar/pinned-apps?tabs=intune&pivots=windows-11#example-add-pins [you could scroll down there are a lot of example, just get the XML edit for your need and then create a settings catalog.

    Here is guidance which settings should be used - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/taskbar/pinned-apps?tabs=intune&pivots=windows-11#deploy-the-taskbar-configuration

    Before deploying to pilot or production you could also test XML locally using powershell.

    Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath "C:\Path\To\Your\LayoutModification.xml" -MountPath $env:SystemDrive\
