About this tag
The layout export tag covers methods for backing up and restoring the Windows 10 Start menu layout using PowerShell. A key technique involves the Export-StartLayout cmdlet to generate a LayoutModification.xml file, which can be saved and later copied into the user shell folder. Clearing the CloudStore cache forces the Start menu to re-read the exported file, making the layout persist across updates. This approach replaces older methods like the TileDataLayer folder, which no longer work on modern Windows 10 builds. The tag is relevant for users who customize their Start screen and want to preserve that arrangement during feature updates or system migrations.
