> The option to allow users to unpin apps is only available on devices with [KB####](/windows/) or later. When targeting this policy, only target devices that are patched, otherwise the pins won't apply. If you use Microsoft Intune, you can use [filters](intune/intune-service/fundamentals/filters) to target only devices with the required patch.
In the following example, all default pins are replaced and two of the apps are pinned with the option `pingeneration`. With `pingeneration`, users can unpin the apps and the pins won't be repinned during the next policy update cycle.
To use this option, add `PinGeneration="1"` to the pins you want to allow users to unpin. The value of `PinGeneration` can be any number. The value is used to identify the version of the pin. If the value changes, the app is pinned again during the next policy update cycle. This allows IT admins to repin the app if needed.
In the following example, the default pins are replaced and three of the apps are pinned with the option `PinGeneration`. Pinned elements specified with `PinGeneration` can be unpinned by the users, and they won't be repinned during the next policy update cycle. If in the future a value of `PinGeneration` changes, for example from `1` to `2`, the element is pinned again, even if the user unpinned it previously.
