    StartLayout XML file missing last section


    Run as PowerShell Administrator:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> Export-StartLayout -Path "D:\Custom_StartLayout.xml"


    When I open the xml file the last group "More Readers" is completely missing. All else looks okay.

    Here is the beginning code, first group, last group "eBook Readers" and the ending code.

    "More Readers" group should follow "eBook Readers" group.

    StartLayout XML file missing last section

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the xml file for Start Menu layout has some groups missing. You may want to check the article on

    Customize and export Start layout     and see if that helps.



    However, I would suggest you to post you query in our TechNet
    Forum    , which is a dedicated forum for issues with User Interface and you will find professionals with the expertise on Start Menu customization. TechNet forums would be the right place for you to post this query.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare
