Prevent Users from Changing their Start menu by customizing Start Menu
Your organization can deploy a customized Start layout to your Windows 11 devices. Customizing the Start layout is common when you have similar devices used by many users, or you want to pin specific apps.
For example, you can override the default set of apps with your own a set of pinned apps, and in the order you choose. As an administrator, use this feature to pin apps, remove default pinned apps, order the apps, and more.
To add apps you want pinned to the Start menu, you use a JSON file. In previous Windows versions, IT administrators used an XML file to customize the Start menu. The XML file isn't available on Windows 11 and later unless you're an OEM.
This article shows you how to export an existing Start menu layout, and use the JSON in a Microsoft Endpoint Manager policy.
Start has the following areas:
- Pinned: Shows pinned apps, or a subset of all of the apps installed on the device. You can create a list of pinned apps you want on the devices using the "ConfigureStartPins" policy. "ConfigureStartPins" overrides the entire layout, which also removes apps that are pinned by default.
- All apps: Users select this option to see an alphabetical list of all the apps on the device. This section can't be customized using the JSON file.
- Recommended: Shows recently opened files and recently installed apps. This section can't be customized using the JSON file.
In Group Policy, there are policies that include settings that control the Start menu layout. Some policies may not work as expected. Be sure to test your policies before broadly deploying them across your devices:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar
Create the JSON file
Export-StartLayout -Path "C:\Layouts\LayoutModification.json"
