That was my experience during my Win10 POC over a year ago. The start branding appeared to modify the default user profile and the current user profile but no other profiles on the computer. Getting the new settings for existing users appeared to require deletion of the user profiles.

This is just an exampl e I'm working through. I am trying to figure out the mechanism prior to ro lling out Windows 10. I want to figure out how we would do a partial custo m start menu in my environment. I will be asked to add tiles to a corporat e 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 point ing to a locally copied custom XML. When User A logs in we see that both of the locked sections are present, Th e Office section is empty - this is expected since Office is not installed. The other locked section containing Calculator, Notepad, and Weather wor ks 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, t hough the applications show up in the left "all programs" section of Start. I thought that once the applications pointed to by the tiles are installe d the tiles are supposed to detect that and become visible... User A logs o ut 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 locke d 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 Use r 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 t hat this would get evaluated each time explorer starts up. But it seems li ke 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, b ut I can't make it work that way.
