Windows 10: Start Menu layout modification turns to default after restart

Our company uses a default LayoutModification xml-file on all our computers. However only one of the computers has changed the startlayout after Windows 10 , v.1809 update. But the changes were overwritten after a reboot. So Start Menu layout modification turns to default after the computer restarts

Start Menu layout modification using LayoutModification xml-file changes to default after restart

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand it feels frustrating when the modified settings are not working the way they are supposed to.



As you are using LayoutModification
xml file to modify the start menu layout, I suggest you to refer the article
Start layout XML for desktop editions of Windows 10.
Also, you can refer the article Customize Windows
10 Start and taskbar with provisioning packages.



However, since the issue is related to modifying the start menu layout through a
LayoutModification xml-file on multiple systems, I request you to post your query at
TechNet forums, where we have experts on start menu
modifications.



Hope it helps.

Start menu default internet acces icon screwed?

You generally set that via the Start Menu settings (right-click start menu -> properties).

I had that issues a while ago, and it meant removing it from the Start Menu, and reinstalling my browser to get the icon back, it was very odd.
