XML - Windows 10

[_DaBean_]

Seems to be the most talked about topic.

 

Why is my XML not working through GPO? It just wont apply and i am unsure why. Does my XML look ok?

I have fixed the XML so it's easier to read.

You don't

 

By XML it's limited to 2 columns (or fullscreen) (Unless it's been changed in the latest update):

 

•Windows 10 reads the LayoutModification.xml file and allows groups to be appended to Start. The groups have the following constraints:

◦2 groups that are 6 columns wide, or equivalent to the width of 3 medium tiles.

◦2 medium-sized tile rows in height. Windows 10 ignores any tiles that are pinned beyond the second row.

◦No limit to the number of apps that can be pinned. There is a theoretical limit of 24 tiles per group (4 small tiles per medium square x 3 columns x 2 rows).
