PENDING Windows 11 removed taskbar icons reappear

[TripleA]

Hello everyone
I managed to deploy a custom taskbar with MECM by copying a custom LayoutModification.xml to the default user folder.
But now every time a user logs on and removes an icon from the taskbar, it will reappear after a reboot.

<CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>
<defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
<taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
<taskbar:desktopApp DesktopApplicationID="Microsoft.Windows.Explorer"/>
<taskbar:desktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Outlook.lnk"/>
<taskbar:desktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Word.lnk"/>
<taskbar:desktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Excel.lnk"/>
<taskbar:desktopApp DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PowerPoint.lnk"/>
<taskbar:UWA AppUserModelID="MSTeams_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSTeams" />
</taskbar:TaskbarPinList>
</defaultlayout:TaskbarLayout>
</CustomTaskbarLayoutCollection>

How can this be turned off?

P.S. didn't find any other post to this but I might be mistaken

I am not sure why that's happening. I would suggest using GPO instead of ConfigMgr for configuring a custom taskbar layout.

This is not an option
