Windows 10: Is possible to restore the Search layout/UI from Windows 1803?

This is the one I am referring too, https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/99fjig/new_search_layout_1803_not_an_insider_build/



I think it looks great.

Cannot remove Keyboard Layout

Hi,

It is possible that you need to configure your keyboard layout that is why you still see it in the list even you already remove it. To address your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps on this

thread provided by DikkeryDok last October 27, 2017 to remove the specific keyboard layout you are referring to.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Backup and Restore Start Layout in Windows 10  


Hi @Brink and thanks for the answer!

I have backup and restore several times in 1709 with success, since this is the only tutorial i found to really work! I'm also aware that apps not installed wont show on the restored layout.

Maybe the issue is that i'm trying to restore a saved 1709 layout and restore it on a 1803 version? Can you test it because i don't have any machines on 1709, but will try as you did, backup and restore on a 1803 version.

Thanks again!

Edit: I was able to test again and here are my findings:
- Restoring a layout from 1709 to 1803 won't work *Sad
- Restoring a layout from 1803 to 1803 works!

I compared the code lines of both files but didn't see anything at first glance that caught my attention, but maybe there is a way to successfully import a previous 1709 layout to the latest 1803 version?
