Windows 10: Windows 10 1703 Deployment of Taskbar failing

Hi everybody

I'm struggling a lot with the deployment of the taskbar in Windows 10 1703 with GPO.

I have the Startmenu XML file working as a charm, but as soon as I add the taskbar lines, the XML isn't applied.
Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LayoutModificationTemplate Version="1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"> <LayoutOptions StartTileGroupsColumnCount="1" FullScreenStart="false" /> <DefaultLayoutOverride> <StartLayoutCollection> <defaultlayout:StartLayout GroupCellWidth="6" xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"> <start:Group Name="" xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="0" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\computer.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="0" Row="2" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%WINDIR%\MijnDocumentenT.lnk" /> <start:Tile Size="2x2" Column="4" Row="0" AppUserModelID="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="2" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\FrontMotion Firefox\FrontMotion Firefox.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="2" Row="2" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Google Chrome.lnk" /> </start:Group> <start:Group Name="Microsoft Office" xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="2" Row="2" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Access 2016.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="0" Row="2" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Publisher 2016.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="0" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Word 2016.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="2" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Excel 2016.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="2x2" Column="4" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\PowerPoint 2016.lnk" /> </start:Group> <start:Group Name="" xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="1x1" Column="0" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Paint.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="1x1" Column="1" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools\Character Map.lnk" /> <startesktopApplicationTile Size="1x1" Column="2" Row="0" DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\Notepad.lnk" /> </start:Group> </defaultlayout:StartLayout> </StartLayoutCollection> </DefaultLayoutOverride> </LayoutModificationTemplate>[/quote] The above works flawlessly. But if I add something trivial in the file like below, it doesn't work anymore.

Is there anybody out there why has an idea?

Windows 10 version 1507 ADK

Does anyone know if there is a Windows ADK for Windows 10 version 1507? I've only been able to find ADKs for versions 1607 & 1703 from Microsoft at

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit? According to the information in the link above they seem to be version specific.
