I have implemented a partial Start layout as described here Customize and export Start layout (Windows 10) - Configure Windows and its working as expected.

However, existing users that have previously pinned applications that are included in the XML file are unable to unpin them.

For example, the XML pins the Office apps under a group called 'Microsoft Office' but if the user has already pined Word for example, their previous pin is still there, but it can't be un-pined:

It appears that if an application is pinned via the XML it also locks any other pinned instances on the Start Menu.

This as this is a real issue for existing users that we deploy the new Start layout to.

Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this?
