Win10 build 1607 Start Menu different for different users

[ste78564]

Hi,

 

We are testing LTSB 2016 and when i have added folders and links into the start menu location C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs these are not showing in other users who log on both new users or previous users.

 

I have tried adding links to programs to:

 

C:\Users\Default

C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

 

but the new entries will not show up in the start menu.

 

Mainly trying to get Internet Explorer to show in the root of the start menu but also created "Testing 1" and "Testing 2" folders but again these do not appear in the menu

 

Anyone any ideas where the start menu could be populating from any other location?

 

Thanks

Steve

i take it you dont have group policy set to hide the all users part of the start menu do you?

also ive noticed you cant have a program twice in windows 10 (i.e. you cant have a word shortcut under writing and say office apps folders it will only show one of them

We can create 2 of the same program/shortcut we have managed to put file explorer in both the root of startmenu and also leave it in Windows System.

 

The old way of anything added into the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder just no longer seems to be applying to everyone as it did in Windows 7.

 

We have created the 2 testing folders and added a program into each folder but none appear in any startmenu
