MicrosoftSo the biggest fallout for us was the Start Menu Icons.... I've managed to get this fixed by deploying a startmenulayout.xml that uses the link path instead of the application ID's, Microsoft's fix restores links but not with the original ID's as previous comments so we went back to basics using a link path and it's fixed for our users. In the future if there is upgrades to the software and paths change we will need to update but for now it's good enough and should be until we migrate to Windows 11.
Hope this helps someone in the same situation 🙂
