[ltsb, 1607] Missing default pinned file explorer from taskbar. What have i done?

[Jaan]

Non mandatory local profiles, all controlled via GPOs.

 

I've made a change to a GPO which has removed the File explorer from the taskbar..... i'm 100% sure it's a GPO causing the issue but i can't find which one it is to save my life!

 

I've even formatted and reinstalled win10 to rule out a damaged reg settings.

 

I have redirected startmenus but have no custom tile/taskbar .xml

 

I'm 99.8% where i need to be..... arrrggghhhh

 

had this issue on 1709 also, but was having issues with other things....... have now gone to 1607 ltsb which has fixed loads..... but this issue still exists.

 

any ideas?

 

cheers

Still not managed this..... it's a deal breaker, user aren't able to access my computer or file explorer at all.

 

Have other people got this to work on LTSB?

Managed to get this working by creating a .xml file on a network share and deploying with GPO.

 

XML below;

 

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"

xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"

xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"

xmlns:taskbar="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/TaskbarLayout"

Version="1">

 

 

However i now have an issue where the fire explorer is totally blank! lol i already hate windows 10!
