@TechUST,Thanks for posting in Q&A.
From your description, I know that you want a script to address Windows11 UI to match autopilot.
Based on my testing, there are contents of PowerShell script that may meet your needs:
#turn off Chat
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarMn /t REG_DWORD /d 0
#turn off Widgets
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarDa /t REG_DWORD /d 0
#change Search : Icon only
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /f /v SearchboxTaskbarMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1
#change Taskbar Alignment: Left
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarAl /t REG_DWORD /d 0
Please create a file named .ps1 and add the scripts on a device, then upload the .ps1 file into Intune. Script Location: Microsoft > Devices > Scripts > Click Add. Then configure the script profile and assign it to autopilot device.
Hope this can be helpful.

@TechUST,Thanks for your reply.
Please just create a .ps1 file and add the content of the script and upload it into Intune.
Thanks for your kind understanding. If there is any update, feel free to contact me.
Thanks, i have to create application, please let me know what would be detection logic for this.
@TechUST,Thanks for your reply.
Each setting in Windows 11 corresponds to the value of the registry, and the purpose is achieved by changing the value of the registry through a script.
Hope this can be helpful.
Hi Thanks, actually want to create application with detection one of those registery key . I am not good with detection logic so can u help me to share the exact value, operator for one of those registery key. So that I can set detection logic and create application. First I want to test with sccm through application method.Please help
#turn off Chat
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarMn /t REG_DWORD /d 0
#turn off Widgets
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarDa /t REG_DWORD /d 0
#change Search : Icon only
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /f /v SearchboxTaskbarMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1
#change Taskbar Alignment: Left
REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarAl /t REG_DWORD /d 0. Suppose if i use this registry key for detection -HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarDa /t REG_DWORD /d 0. Then what would key, value, operator, value...
@TechUST,Thanks for your reply.
According to the picture you provided, it seems that this app can only detect the value of one registry.
In general, this app should be able to detect the values of all the registry you need. Please contact the app developer to check the detection settings of this app.
Taking change Taskbar Alignment: Left as an example, we usually call "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" as key, TaskbarDa as value, REG_DWORD as dataType, 0 as value, and operator is usually equal to, the operator is Depending on app options.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
In sccm we do not have option data type for Reg_dword. I can see only string, integer, version.
@TechUST,Thanks for your reply. The app settings may be deferred from usual definitions, we suggest that you contact app developer to get more help.
Thanks for your kind understanding.
Hi ZhoumingDuan-MSFT- I have deployed a script on Windows 11 devices a few months ago, and recently there have been issues with aggressive behavior on pinned taskbar items. i am wondering if this could be due to the script or if there might be another problem, such as a group policy issue. Please suggest me if there is possibility to cause this issue due to this script or let me know how to troubleshoot through policy.
#turn off Chat REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarMn /t REG_DWORD /d 0 #turn off Widgets REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarDa /t REG_DWORD /d 0 #change Search : Icon only REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search" /f /v SearchboxTaskbarMode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 #change Taskbar Alignment: Left REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /f /v TaskbarAl /t REG_DWORD /d 0 This Script changes value of TaskbarMn,TaskbarDa,SearchboxTaskbarMode , TaskbarAl. I believe taskbar pinned items is stored in the Windows Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Taskband so after changes of these registry value TaskbarMn,TaskbarDa,SearchboxTaskbarMode , TaskbarAl, will it impact taskband or pinned item to taskbar behavior. If an aggressive issue is occurring pinned to the taskbar due to this script, can we customize something in the script to prevent this, i am not sure it is due to this script.
If possible, can you please share article for this.
