Hey everyone,
I'm having some trouble configuring the Group Policy Object (GPO) for the Start Menu on a Windows 11 computer that's part of a domain. I've been following the guidelines from the Microsoft documentation, but despite my efforts, I'm still not seeing any results.
I'm working with a Windows 11 24H2 Build: 26100.4946, and the machine is running as a virtual machine in Azure alongside a Server 2022 domain controller. The GPO is supposed to apply settings regarding the Start Menu and Taskbar, but even though the GPO appears to be applied (I checked via GP Results) and has the highest priority, the specific settings I'm looking to configure are not taking effect. For instance, I tried disabling the Recommended section, but that isn't applying either.
I've tested the JSON file both in the User and Computer GPO, and even tried applying it straight through the local policy editor, but no luck so far. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A quick thought – are you sure the user account has access to the JSON file you're using? If it’s in the sysvol folder, they should be able to access it, but it’s worth double-checking just to be safe.
Good point! Yes, the JSON is in the sysvol folder, and users can navigate to it from their accounts.
