Remove “Windows Server” pinned apps on Server 2016
We are in the process of upgrading our VDI from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2016 and I cannot seem to get the pinned "Windows Server" group from showing when new users log in to the new VDI test servers. Is there a way to get rid of this group? I've looked thru GPO but only thing I have been able to find is to remove ALL pinned applications which is not something we want.
The image below will show what group I am talking about.

To customise the start menu take a look at the PowerShell functions Export-StartLayout and Import-StartLayout. Basically you need to setup a temp machine, customise the start menu as required then export it to a xml file. You can then import this config and apply those changes to other machines/images.
This guide covers the process in more detail:

We already have a Start Menu Layout set in GPO which is being processed correctly (You can see the Office and other icons above it). However, on a 2016 Server it always seems to add the Server icons regardless of those settings.
