Intune Start Menu W11 All Apps Button Vanishing!

[cheekycharly]

Hi all, I have an issue where when I provision a new Windows 11 device and logon after a while some policy kicks in and removes the start menu "All Apps" button. I have been going through policies for a few days now trying to find the culprit but cannot find it.

 

I want to simply have a custom start menu layout which I have achieved but still maintaining the all apps button.

 

See attached photo of a basic start menu without the custom menu applied still losing the "All Apps" button.

Sorted this myself in the end. Thanks for flooding me with sympathy and good answers

What was it? I didn’t know you could even remove this button

It was something in the pre config Education policies. I stopped Staff and Pupil General Education Policy applying and the issue went. I have since stopped using all the EDU templates and setup what I require myself.

 

Looking at it further there was loads of stuff in them templates that we didn't need like Chrome config when we don't use Chrome. Policy applies quicker now there is less as well.
