04/23/2026, 6:14 PMHow are you guys handling Application assignments in WEM in W11/S25? We have quite a lot of applications that we used to put into folders for W10/S16, but with folders no longer being an option, we don't want 100+ shortcuts just scattered throughout the Start menu. So I'm curious to hear what others are doing.

04/23/2026, 8:40 PMMaybe you mean you can't nest folders within folders; everything has to be in one level and also folders can't only have one shortcut otherwise it'll just put it in the start menu without the folder. Or do you mean something else?
