Yeah, it's mildly useful. The first time a locked group is put in place you reset the user's menu completely but after that any changes will not affect what they place on their menu themselves if I remember correctly, unless it is one of the locked applications in which case it gets moved.

This is just an example I'm working through. I am trying to figure out the mechanism prior to rolling out Windows 10. I want to figure out how we would do a partial custom start menu in my environment. I will be asked to add tiles to a corporate section from time to time so I need to make sure I have the process down. I am having trouble getting it to work in the way I think it is supposed to work. Here is my testing scenario... The Windows 10 (1607) computer is deployed without Office. The computer is assigned a custom start menu layout with two locked sections via GPO pointing to a locally copied custom XML. When User A logs in we see that both of the locked sections are present, The Office section is empty - this is expected since Office is not installed. The other locked section containing Calculator, Notepad, and Weather works and the tiles are visible. User A installs Office and reboots the computer User A logs back in. The locked section for Office tiles is still empty, though the applications show up in the left "all programs" section of Start. I thought that once the applications pointed to by the tiles are installed the tiles are supposed to detect that and become visible... User A logs out User B logs in for the first time on this computer. The locked section for Office tiles is fully populated according to the custom layout. Both locked custom sections look correct. User B logs out User A logs in - custom Office section is still empty. If I delete UserA's profile on the computer using an admin account, and User A logs back in, the locked sections are correct with the Office tiles. What triggers User's locked sections to be reevaluated? I thought I read that this would get evaluated each time explorer starts up. But it seems like it might only happen when the user account is first populated. How is it is supposed to work? The documentation talks about adding tiles later by updating the XML file. So I think it is supposed to be dynamic, but I can't make it work that way. ________________________________ Notice: This UI Health Care e-mail (including attachments) is covered by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. 2510-2521 and is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
