Thanks for the short and quick trick. I ll try this out. I am currently suffering by this confusing behavior. I built a new win 10 1703image. For some reason the import startlayout didn’t work and I have the new image with default startlayout. How can I add the custom startlayout? I tried copying the layoutmodification.xml to default profile by mounting the image..it didn’t work. Can you guide me how to fix it offline?
