Windows 10: New User Account has been created with non-default Start Menu

Hi,
I have created a new local user account. To do it I used my own standard administrator account and the "Family and other Users" facility in Settings. I did not create the new account as "Family".
To my annoyance, the new account has inherited some of my own very flaky 'Start Menu' layout.
I didn't want this to happen, because I need a default Start Menu layout to replace my own corrupt Start Menu layout. I have read (somewhere) that a new account inherits some of the settings of the administrator who created it. This must be what has happened. Does anyone know how to switch off this inherited behaviour, so that the new account will have a default Start Menu?

New Account/User Issues

Hi,

When you create a new user account, Windows uses the Default user profile as a template to construct the files for the newly created user account. You might be experiencing issues creating new accounts due to a corrupt Default profile. To
resolve the issue, we suggest reinstating the Default folder in the
Users directory by following these steps:

• Log in as an administrator.
• Open the C:\Users folder using Windows Explorer.
• Rename the Default user profile folder to Default.OLD.
• Download a zip of C:\Users\Default from a Windows 10 installation that doesn't have this problem.
  
• Unzip the non-corrupt Default profile into C:\Users.
• Try logging in to the new user account and check if the problem is resolved.

Let us know how it turns out.

 

For a new user account, there's no start menu and no action center

When I create a new user account and sign in to it:

• Nothing happens when I left-click or right-click the Start button--no menu at all.
• When I try to open the Action Center, nothing happens; it won't open.

So, the new user account is unusable.

This happens when logging in to any new user account I create, not just a particular one.

Could someone please help?

Thank you.

 

How to change default WIN10 start menu for ALL Users


Sorry for my english , and hi! , this is my first post.

I don't like the xml template method..I prefer .. creating a start menu under the admin local account and use it as template for all de new user following the next steps:

This settings applies only for new users, (or users that don't have user accounts folders)

First, design a Start Menu as you like under one admin account
Second, copy the content of this folder under admin account folder : ....\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\
Third copy this folder TileDataLayer to this Default user folder example: "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\"
Four: Login with a new user, and the start menu will be the same as administrator was.

Thanks for reading!!

PS: And the new users can edit their start menu
