The original termplates I got were from here https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/187202#windows. Will try your set thanks.

Sorted it. Needed an older copy of the templates. See comment 149 here https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=175880

I have downloaded the latest templates dated 2nd Jan. Don't see this option.

I have found that the GPO recommended by MS doesn't work and I'm on Edu build. This does though SOLVED: Video: How to Disable the Store in Windows 10 Pro Using Group Policy GPO - Up & Running Technologies Calgary

I have spent the last two days trying to determine why I could not use apps from the office store on my domain joined desktop. Finally, I traced it down to one Group policy setting user user config/admin templates/ MS office 2016/ miscellaneous - the setting is "Block signing into office" which I enabled to stop users trying to sign in with their work accounts etc (we are not using o365 here). The setting hides any signin options within the suite. The side effect is that it blocks office store apps from working. I am deploying office mix for powerpoint and so need to able to use the web apps included as part of the package.

Thanks Michael for your help with this. I am trying the GPO files method using replace with the source files being \\baca-file1\redirect\winx\* where the source winx folder contains the 3 empty group folders and the destination is c:\users\%username%\appdata\local\microsoft\windows\winx\ . Currently this is deleting the 3 group folders in the user's winx folder leaving the destination winx folder empty. I have tried with the box for running in logged-on user's context. The empty winx folder does seem to work for the user. The only other outstanding issues I need to control on the start menu is disabling right click on the customized start icons and changing the pinned icons above the power button, both via gpo or registry hack, any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hi all, for the last month or so I have been working on a way to deploy Win 10 Edu 1511 throughout my school. I have created a VM running SCCM 1511 with WSUS to manage updates. Created a task sequence in SCCM with the help of MDT 2013 update 2. Did not create my own master image, just used the Win 10 ISO. I am installing apps as part of the task sequence such as chrome, office 2016, antivirus, abtutor agent etc. I have disabled all universal apps by disabling access to the store via GPO. SCCM has its own store that I can use to advertise packaged apps if necessary. The staff are using roaming profiles on existing Win 7 desktops. In testing, the first login fails with error which I can't remember but subsequent logins create a v5 profile as expected alongside their v2 profiles. Login times for my test staff account are no slower than to be expected. We will be upgrading the desktops to 120 GB SSDs over time which will half login times. Edge browser crashes on loading with roaming profiles but I see that that this has been fixed on a recent Insider build, so it will filter through at some point. Both staff and students have folder redirection including desktop and start menu. On Win10, I have turned off start menu redirection. I have created custom xmls for both staff and pupils which are deployed via GPO. Getting IE11 to show up on the custom start was a pain but this is possible by modifying the xml and using a link instead of the default code. The students are using mandatory Win 7 profiles. I tried creating a Win10 profile and then sanitizing it and this creates a profile which logs in quicker but with no start menu as seen elsewhere on the web so is no good. Using the copy profile method creates a working v5 mandatory profile which logs in slower 1 to 1min30 , because it has to prepare windows each time. This will speed up with SSDs. My current issue is that I have found no way to disable the right click on start menu button which gives students access to all sorts of goodies, most of which are disabled, but I would prefer it if the temptation wasn't there. So in conclusion, if anyone knows a way to disable this function please let me know.
