W11 start menu not working with DEM

Hey Guys,

We might be a little early but have some of you already been working with W11? We are in the proces of migrating to W11 and almost everything seems to work quite well with taking over settings from W10 to W11, up until the taskbar and all. What we do see happening is that the start menu items are not being saved correctly. Our current config in W10 for start menu is below which seems to be the default of DEM itself for W10. But hey, Microsoft thought of changing it again....

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Apparently the Windows 11 Start Menu layout is stored in the folder %LocalAppdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState as a file called start.bin.

So adding the folder should do the trick
