Configure taskbar by country or region

::: zone pivot="windows-10"

The following example shows you how to configure taskbars by country or region. When the layout is applied to a computer, if there's no <TaskbarPinList> node with a region tag for the current region, the first <TaskbarPinList> node that has no specified region will be applied. When you specify one or more countries or regions in a <TaskbarPinList> node, the specified apps are pinned on computers configured for any of the specified countries or regions.
