We have Windows 10 1703 Education edition and have been battling with the start menu (as well as many other bugs) for a while now.
What have I done?
GPO's
- Set Mandatory start menu xml
- Set excludedprofiledirs to:
-
AppData\LocalLow;
$Recycle.Bin;

The issue appears to be at the point of saving the tiledata folders. They do not upload to the user profile. I have a workaround script which "sometimes" works on logoff which stops the tiledata service and copies the files to the correct location on the profile server. During login however, the tiledata files are not always activated and restarting the tiledata service then fixes this.
Next, the restart of this service then shows the icons in the start menu but not in the order of the xml file!
Any ideas?
