How to programmatically pin a shortcut to the Win 10 Start Screen?

Question

PowerShell

subj actually. preferably in C#. but C, PowerShell, CMD/BAT are also good, as long as it really works,
we are talking about a set of shortcuts already created by the program (well, or how to create a shortcut with pinning to "start" take out10). once upon a time, I found an example for C #, but it does not work

static void links2start()
        {
            dynamic sa = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Shell.Application"));
            dynamic ll = sa.NameSpace(linkLocation);
            dynamic lnk = ll.ParseName("body.lnk");
            foreach (dynamic verb in lnk.Verbs)
                if (verb.Name == "&Pin to Start")
                    verb.DoIt();
        }

thanks

There are ways, but they change periodically.
It's Microsoft's policy that programs shouldn't pollute these screens.
