Auto-correct strikes again πŸ˜† My original comment mentioned a default layout that would allow users to change whatever they want, which I don't think would be disturbing for power users. Todays methods of handling the Start menu is extremely binary, which is a step backwards...

But to answer on a more serious note. Branding is one aspect. Different persona's is another, and perhaps easy of access for certain users that's not familiar with computers but have to use them. There's not a single layout that fits all, but a default that users can change is a good start.

It'd be great if you could bring back enterprise control to the Start menu that's taken away since W11. And while at it, allow us to apply a default layout, that users can later change without it being locked.

Hey #configmgr #sccm #intune #w365 peeps. Couple of questions:

Do you have applications that require manual configuration on the end user device before giving it to users?

How many apps require a complex sequence (install order, reboot, etc) to work correctly?

Please repost for visibility 😁

Updating the PSADT version in the repo is long overdue, unfortunately. I've not been able to focus as much as I would have wanted om community work for the past months due to some private matters. I think you should update it, test with an app to ensure what you use is working as expected.
