Do a bare metal backup and be brave (Sounding a bit Gun-ho)

Didn't even check this, might apply this one out

Could be worse... Could be getting a buzz off of Euro Truck Simulator 2 with the Multiplayer mod installed

In terms of licening would it not be easier to use Hyper-V Host and RSAT it. What's the stipulation of licensing on a Hyper-V Host compared to using Server 2016 STD? I would assume it would have to be a 1:1 license per vm?

Does crash on MacOS. :-) It looks like they've dropped an older version of Ruby again.

I tell you what, I do like the little padlock

So what I could have is two XML files, one for Pupils, one for Staff. The Staff one having this restriction lifted which would then allow them to alter the rest of the start menu I like the sound of this

Ooh Partial, This is what I would like to do for Staff. I'd like to give that a go at some point

Reckon they fixed it in a Zero-Day update? This might be why there isn't a normal ISO out yet ^_^

Have you had a quick mooch in Event Viewer to see if there is a problem applying the Start Layout. (Yet to do this myself) I seem to remember when I was experimenting with this last year that the StartMenu wouldn't apply if there was an error.

Recently Purchased Mortal Combat X on the PC Spent 6 hours that night with the other halfs step dad and the neighbours, projecting on a big screen Haven't completed any games recently, although I'm becoming very adept at Cities Skylines, even installing mods to create traffic flow by controlling the traffic lights themselves! (What am I doing with my time /wrists) Looking to get Forza Horizon 3 on cross platform though. ( defo not in the pipe lines of taking a power laptop to work and going online *cough* )

This is what I currently have in place, but it's really not robust when different pupils log onto different laptops. Often getting Edge opening PDF's and then causing a spooler somewhere in the nether to get stuck haha

I use the following policy in the Windows 10 ADMX User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Start Layout Enabled the policy using that XML file in a public location, i.e. \\domain.name\netlogon\win10\startmenu.xml This applies that XML file to the user as they logon, OR should do. I have started having a couple issues recently where this hasn't been applying. Could be a slow-link thing on my end however

I was gonna say I've not seen much documentation on Shared PC. I started to thing it's something to do with Microsoft InTune. It's similarly like that on iPads, in Apple Configurator a line appeared on Blueprints saying Shared iPads : NO... How do I make it yes i thought looking through the help guides... nothing

Ah I see. I had a bit of difficulty getting this to work at first. The way I got to work was that I had to add a shortcut to the StartMenu (%CommonStartMenuDir%) to the network path I wanted: \\ServerName\Share$\Folder and then in the StartMenu.Xml file I would have this line which was populated from doing that PowerShell Export. So I basically on my Admin Machine dragged and dropped the shortcut applied by GPO onto the StartMenu and then Exported them :-) Hope this helps -- EDIT: %CommonStartMenuDir% is All Users Start Menu when you make the shortcut
