Pinning Apps in start menu
I have already done a JSON file with custom apps in start menu. But, what if we need to allow users to PIN more apps and have it stay for them? Is it possible that users can pin their own apps? I am trying and it does not save once you log off and log back in. Is there a way to make sure that they can pin their own apps also? Any settings?

There's a policy option to allow/disallow Start menu modifications. See these links for reference.

- I felt that Nathans article was very close what I wanted but he is using XML file as the STARTLAYOUT. From Windows 11 it has become JSON file instead of XML file, so I am wondering how we could do that what Nathan has done using JSON file.
