Windows 10: Why is the start-menu changing post-deployment?

Hi!

I'm sitting here struggling a lot to get the Windows 10 Start Menu customized for deployment in our corporate environment. I've read up on the different ways to add a customized menu such as adding a task during deployment, the problem is that we don't have MDT.

All we use is WDS with a boot-image to run installs and capture updated images to .wim

Now, I managed to get the customized start-menu anyway, both through CopyProfile in unattend.xml and by using Import-StartLayout to the .wim file - HOWEVER - after the image is deployed, the start-menu has resized itself and moved tiles.

Pre-deployment configured on built-in Administrator account:

Post-Deployment:

Has anyone figured out why this happens/how to fix it? Can I somehow LOCK the Application Groups/Tiles inplace so it doesn't resize?

:)

Why is the Win 10 menu incomplete? I have had to install Classic Shell to make sense of it! Microsoft wake up and listen to your customers!
