    Resetting start page menu layout to default in Win 10.


    Hi.....somehow I lost my original start page menu layout. I can access everything as before, but the layout is different and I have to click on more buttons etc. Is there a way I can get the original layout without doing a computer restore and having to 'customize' things over again? My computer expertise is limited. I'm using an HP Spectre 360 laptop with win 10 home edition.

    Thanks.

    :)

    How can I reset the start menu layout (the tiles)


    Check out this tutorial. Copy the entire folder C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer from a newly created account, and then replace / overwrite the TileDataLayer folder of your target account. This works for me but the steps are a bit complicated.
