Google Chrome tile start menu color SCCM baseline

Windows 20H2 has fixed the start menu tiles so the colors are not all over the place, however apps can override this. Well only Google does

You can fix this by changing an xml file, this file gets updated by Google during automatic updates so a SCCM baseline is needed. If the profile has already set the icon you need to reset the icon for the shortcut as the icon settings are cached somewhere (haven't worked that out). This will fix new users.

Create a configuration item in SCCM using PS Script with boolean

(I hope this formats correctly, been having word press plugin issues)

# Read Chrome tile Config
[xml]$xmlDoc = Get-Content "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.VisualElementsManifest.xml"


$tileColor = $xmlDoc.Application.VisualElements.BackgroundColor

If ($tileColor -eq "Transparent") 
{
Write-Output $true
}
Else 
{
Write-Output $false
}
