Is there a way if we can unpin the M365companion apps (files, people, calendar) from Intune from the windows taskbar those get pinned automatically when the M365companion apps is installed ?
MicrosoftHello Piyush3o5o, the installation of the M365 Companion Apps automatically pins to the task bar because the intent is that they are quickly available for end users to launch and interact with, without the user needing to launch a full-screen application or switch context from what they are doing. So short answer, there is no policy available to automatically unpin them. If you are installing them on devices, consider how they are supposed to be used before unpinning them.

Piyush3o5o Also consider that if you have multiple displays, you can ensure that the taskbar on the external displays only shows the apps that are running on that display. So that, even if the M365 apps are pinned to the Taskbar, they'll only be pinned to the main display's taskbar, not all of them.
This setting is in the Settings > Personalization > Taskbar
