    Hi, I understand how important it is to get this working smoothly.

    The issue happens because the app shortcuts aren’t automatically pinned when Office installs, they’re grouped under the main Office app instead of separate icons.

    To fix this, you can open each app like Word or Excel, then right-click its icon on the taskbar and choose Pin to taskbar.

    Another way is to search for the app in the Start menu, right-click it, and select Pin to taskbar.

    If you prefer, you can also go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16 and pin the individual .exe files for Word, Excel, and others.

    Quick question, are you using the desktop apps or the web versions of 365?

    That will help me guide you better.

    Regards,
    Aron

    To pin separate icons from Microsoft 365 to the taskbar, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open the Microsoft 365 application you want to pin (e.g., Word, Excel, etc.).
    2. Once the application is open, right-click on its icon in the taskbar.
    3. From the context menu, select Pin to taskbar. This will keep the application icon on your taskbar for easy access in the future.
    4. Repeat the process for any other Microsoft 365 applications you wish to pin.

    If you are managing multiple devices or users, you can also configure taskbar pins through the Microsoft 365 admin center using Intune policies, but this requires administrative access and specific configurations.
