Windows 10 migrations from Windows 8. Microsoft has continued to change the user profile format between operating system versions. Most changes include new folder names, registry, and storage locations that break the ability of Windows to work across multiple OS desktops with roaming profiles and basic profile tools. Porting profiles across OS versions has become almost impossible, making a manual migration unfeasible.

Importing a StartLayout modifies the Default User profile. All user profiles created after the import has occurred will get the imported Start-Layout. Using Group Policy provides a centralized management solution to apply a standardized Start Layout to users. There are 2 modes to modes to using Group Policy for Start management. Full Lockdown and Partial Lockdown. The full lockdown scenario prevents the user from making any changes to Start's layout.
The partial lockdown scenario allows user to make changes to a specific area of Start. For more info, see Customize and export Start layout. Let the Start layout reset occur and allow end users to reconfigure Start. A notification email or other notification can be sent to end users to expect their Start layouts to be reset after the OS upgrade to minimized impact.

Note Uninstalling these apps decreases sign-in times, but you can leave them installed if your deployment needs any of them.
Tip If you plan to implement primary computer support, do so now, before you enable the GPO. Note User made changes in the partial lockdown scenario will still be lost during upgrade. Submit and view feedback for This product This page. View all page feedback. In this article.
