W10 v1909.
I am using the "Start Layout" group policy to set a few Taskbar pins for new users. The Taskbar pins are created, but the Start menu layout is locked. I do not want to create any Start pins. I have read--
--to create a"Partial" Start layout without specifying any Groups or Icons, and added that to my XML file for the Taskbar. However, after the policy is applied, the entire Start menu remains locked.
My XML file follows (with most taskbar pins removed for simplicity)--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LayoutModificationTemplate
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
xmlns:taskbar="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/TaskbarLayout"
Version="1">
<DefaultLayoutOverride LayoutCustomizationRestrictionType="OnlySpecifiedGroups">
<StartLayoutCollection>
</StartLayoutCollection>
</DefaultLayoutOverride>
<CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
<defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
<taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
<taskbar:DesktopApp DesktopApplicationID="MSEdge" />
<taskbar:DesktopApp DesktopApplicationID="Microsoft.Windows.Explorer" />
</taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
</defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
</CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>
Is there some trick to this that I'm missing?
