Windows 11 Assigned Access Restricted User Mode

Question

I have been working with the Assigned Access Restricted User Mode and deploying a profile via Intune, and have been surprised at how well this may fit our needs. However, in working as the test user I noticed the Search Bar on the taskbar and in the Start Menu is completely unusable. I'm wondering if this is an app that needs to be added to the app list or if there is some other configuration that needs to occur in Intune.

@Justin Benjamin Thanks for posting in our Q&A.

Based on my research, I didn't find any built-in setting in intune can make it. Please understand that intune only deploy policies and how the setting works is controlled by itself.

It is suggested to configure a restricted user experience via PPKG or PowerShell, then check if the Search Bar on the taskbar and in the Start Menu is still completely unusable.
