Importing a StartLayout modifies the Default User profile. All user profiles created after the import has occurred will get the imported Start-Layout. Using Group Policy provides a centralized management solution to apply a standardized Start Layout to users.
There are 2 modes to modes to using Group Policy for Start management. Full Lockdown and Partial Lockdown. The full lockdown scenario prevents the user from making any changes to Start's layout. The partial lockdown scenario allows user to make changes to a specific area of Start. For more info, see Customize and export Start layout.
Let the Start layout reset occur and allow end users to reconfigure Start. A notification email or other notification can be sent to end users to expect their Start layouts to be reset after the OS upgrade to minimized impact. Skip to main content.

Warning Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Note Some functionality might differ or be unavailable depending on the version of Windows Server you're using.

Tip A user's home folder, if configured, is the default folder used by some programs such as Windows PowerShell. Note Uninstalling these apps decreases sign-in times, but you can leave them installed if your deployment needs any of them. Tip If you plan to implement primary computer support, do so now, before you enable the GPO. Note User made changes in the partial lockdown scenario will still be lost during upgrade.

V2 before the software update and registry key are applied. Added profile information for Windows 10, version , and clarified how roaming profile versions work when upgrading operating systems—see Considerations when using Roaming User Profiles on multiple versions of Windows. Also fixed a couple references to steps 5 and 6 that had the numbers wrong. Added Windows 10 profile version suffixes in Appendix B: Profile version reference information.
Updates for the new versions of Windows, and removed info about versions of Windows that are no longer supported. Added requirement and step to disable continuous availability when using a clustered file server. Clustered file shares have better performance for small writes which are typical with roaming user profiles when continuous availability is disabled. Capitalized profile version suffixes. V4 in Appendix B: Profile version reference information. Although Windows is case insensitive, if you use NFS with the file share, it's important to have the correct uppercase capitalization for the profile suffix.
Revised for Windows Server R2 and Windows 8. At subsequent logons, the system loads the user's profile, and then other system components configure the user's environment according to the information in the profile. In Windows 7 or later, each user profile has an associated image presented as a user tile. The image files for the default Guest and default User accounts also appear here if you have Administrator access rights.
Those instances are the only times that the images are created or updated. Therefore, there are several caveats to keep in mind when using the Temp folder location programmatically:.

Thanks in particular for linking to your article. This lead to your Profile Toolkit suite of information about Windows profiles, which is just so, so useful to have in one place. So, thanks! Dan Dan No that's not quite correct, things are syncronized at logon, not uploaded. So at log off it's entirely possible that very little if anything is uploaded — Jim B.
You're right JimB that's a good point. Though I interpreted as the OP not realising there was more to a roaming profile.
Additionally, background uploads need to be specifically configured so we can probably assume they don't use them. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
