I'm a highschooler working with Group Policy on the IT team at a larger company and I'm having some issues with setting a taskbar using an XML file on a local account, let alone an entire domain.

As the title says I'm having issues with GP and quite honestly, I don't know where I'm going wrong. I did some tweaking to the given XML file from the official Microsoft website (by adding a number of the apps I want pinned on our company task bar) and after that didn't work, I just copied the file exactly (Taskbar.xml) to see if it would have an effect on the local non-admin account I created. I then saved that to "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Taskbar.xml" such that when I logged in to the other account it would be able to be read by GP. Then I went into the specific group policy "Local Computer Policy > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Start Layout" and enabled the policy with the path to the file appropriately applied (see below). Finally I forced GP to refresh with "gpupdate" in PowerShell and restarted the computer. The taskbar stayed the same when I logged back in. Is there something that I did incorrectly? I got this to Work on windows 10 a few months ago but I'm getting nothing back now on Windows 11. Thanks.

did you get this working now?

and are you sure the same tweaks apply to windows 11, the same as windows 10?
