Unpin Microsoft store from the taskbar
How to unpin the Microsoft store from the taskbar in Windows 10 with Intune? At the time of writing, there is no option in Intune to easily remove the Microsoft store from the Taskbar.
You can prepare a start menu and taskbar using XML, but the disadvantage of this is that the user can no longer make changes. If there are any developments or if you have a different or better solution please leave a commend.
The script below can be used to remove the Microsoft store from the Taskbar.
For devices using autopilot, it may take a while for the user to actually log in to the device. I have added a sleep command to the script, without it the script will finish before any profile is loaded to actually remove the Windows Store from the taskbar.
Copy the Powershell Script to a .ps1 fileStart-Sleep -s 900
$appname = "Microsoft Store"
((New-Object -Com Shell.Application).NameSpace('shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}').Items() | ?{$_.Name -eq $appname}).Verbs() | ?{$_.Name.replace('&','') -match 'Unpin from taskbar'} | %{$_.DoIt(); $exec = $true}
