>[!IMPORTANT]

Cortana in Windows 10 is already great at letting your employees quickly see what the day is going to look like, do meeting prep work like researching people in LinkedIn or getting documents ready, see where and when their meetings are going to be, get a sense of travel times to and from work, and even get updates from a calendar for upcoming trips.
But Cortana works even harder when she connects to Office 365, helping employees to be notified about unusual events, such as meetings over lunch or during a typical commute time, and about early meetings, even setting an alarm so the employee isnt late.
![Cortana at work, showing the day's schedule pulled from Office 365](images/cortana-o365-screen.png)
Were continuing to add more and more capabilities to Cortana so she can become even more helpful with your productivity-related tasks, such as emailing, scheduling, and other tasks that are important to help you be successful.
>[!NOTE]
>For a quick review of the frequently asked questions about Cortana and Office 365 integration, see the blog post, [An early look at Cortana integration with Office 365](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=717379).

# Cortana integration in your business or enterprise
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10, Windows Insider Program
- Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Insider Program
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Some information relates to prereleased product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
## Who is Cortana?
Cortana is Microsofts personal digital assistant, who helps busy people get things done, even while at work.
Cortana has powerful configuration options, specifically optimized for your business. By signing in with an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account, your employees can give Cortana access to their enterprise/work identity, while getting all the functionality Cortana provides to them outside of work.
Using Azure AD also means that you can remove an employees profile (for example, when an employee leaves your organization) while respecting Windows Information Protection (WIP) policies and ignoring enterprise content, such as emails, calendar items, and people lists that are marked as enterprise data.
![Cortana at work, showing the About me screen](images/cortana-about-me.png)
## Where is Cortana available for use in my organization?
You can use Cortana at work in all countries/regions where Cortana is supported for consumers. This includes the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, China, Japan, India, and Australia. As Cortana comes to more countries, she will also become available to enterprise customers.
Cortana is available on Windows 10, Windows Insider Program and with limited functionality on Windows Phone 8.1, Windows Insider Program.
## Required hardware and software
Cortana requires the following hardware and software to successfully run the included scenario in your organization.
|Hardware |Description |
|---------|------------|
|Microphone |For speech interaction with Cortana. If you don't have a microphone, you can still interact with Cortana by typing in the Cortana Search Box in the taskbar. |
|Windows Phone |For location-specific reminders. You can also use a desktop device to run through this scenario, but location accuracy is usually better on phones. |
|Desktop devices |For non-phone-related scenarios. |
|Software |Minimum version |
|---------|------------|
|Client operating system |<ul><li>**Desktop:** Windows 10, Windows Insider Program</li><li>**Mobile:** Windows 8.1, Windows Insider Program (with limited functionality)</li> |
|Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) |While all employees signing into Cortana need an Azure AD account; an Azure AD premium tenant isnt required. |
|Additional policies (Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM)) |There is a rich set of policies that can be used to manage various aspects of Cortana. Most of these policies will limit the abilities of Cortana, but won't turn Cortana off.<p>For example:<p>If you turn **Location** off, Cortana won't be able to provide location-based reminders, such as reminding you to visit the mail room when you get to work.<p>If you turn **Speech** off, your employees won't be able to use “Hello Cortana” for hands free usage or voice commands to easily ask for help. |
|Windows Information Protection (WIP) (optional) |If you want to secure the calendar, email, and contact info provided to Cortana on a device, you can use WIP. For more info about WIP, see [Protect your enterprise data using Windows Information Protection (WIP)](../keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md)<p>If you decide to use WIP, you must also have a management solution. This can be Microsoft Intune, Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (version 1606 or later), or your current company-wide 3rd party mobile device management (MDM) solution.|
## Signing in using Azure AD
Your organization must have an Azure AD tenant and your employees devices must all be Azure AD-joined for Cortana to work properly. For info about what an Azure AD tenant is, how to get your devices joined, and other Azure AD maintenance info, see [What is an Azure AD directory?](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/jj573650.aspx)
## Cortana and privacy

# Set up and test Cortana for Power BI in your organization
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10, Windows Insider Program
- Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Insider Program
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Some information relates to prereleased product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Integration between Cortana and Power BI shows how Cortana can work with custom business analytics solutions to enable you to get answers directly from your key business data, including introducing new features that let you create custom Cortana “answers” using the full capabilities of Power BI Desktop.
>[!Note]
>Cortana for Power BI is currently only available in English. For more info about Cortana and Power BI, see [Use Power BI to create a custom Answer Page for Cortana](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-cortana-desktop-entity-cards/).
## Before you begin
To use this walkthrough, youll need:
- **Windows 10**. Youll need to be running at least Windows 10 with the latest version from the Windows Insider Program.
- **Cortana**. You need to have Cortana turned on and be logged into your account.
- **Power BI account with data**. You can use an existing Power BI account, or else you can get a trial account by signing up at http://powerbi.com. Just make sure that either way, you enter some data that you can use.
- **Azure Active Directory (Azure AD)/Work or School account**. You can use the account that you created for Office 365, or you can create a new one while youre establishing your Power BI account. If you choose to use Azure AD, you must connect your Azure AD account to your Windows account.
**To connect your account to Windows**
a. Open **Windows Settings**, click **Accounts**, click **Access work or school**, and then in the **Connect to work or school** section, click **Connect**.
b. Follow the instructions to add your Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account to Windows.
## Set up your test environment for Cortana for Power BI
Before you can start this testing scenario, you must first set up your test environment and data, and then you must turn on and set up Cortana to connect and work with Power BI.
**To set up your test environment with Cortana and Power BI**
1. Go to http://powerbi.com and sign-in with the same O365 credentials you used in the Set up and use Cortana with Office 365 topic.
2. Expand the left rail by clicking the **Show the navigation pane** icon.
![Cortana at work, showing the navigation expand icon in Power BI](images/cortana-powerbi-expand-nav.png)
3. Click **Get Data** from the left-hand navigation in Power BI.
![Cortana at work, showing the Get Data link](images/cortana-powerbi-getdata.png)
4. Click **Samples** from the **Content Pack Library** area of the **Get Data** screen.
![Cortana at work, showing the Samples link](images/cortana-powerbi-getdata-samples.png)
5. Click **Retail Analysis Sample**, and then click **Connect**.
![Cortana at work, showing the Samples link](images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-sample.png)
The sample data is imported and youre returned to the **Power BI** screen.
6. Click **Dashboards** from the left pane of the **Power BI** screen, and then click **Retail Analysis Sample**.
![Cortana at work, showing a dashboard view of the sample data](images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-dashboard.png)
7. In the upper right-hand menu, click the **Settings** icon, and then click **Settings**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to find the Settings option](images/cortana-powerbi-settings.png)
8. Click the **Datasets** tab, and then pick the **Retail Analysis Sample** dataset from the list.
9. Click **Q&A and Cortana**, check the **Allow Cortana to access this dataset** box, and then click **Apply**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to find the dataset options](images/cortana-powerbi-retail-analysis-dataset.png)
>[!NOTE]
>It can take up to 30 minutes for a new dataset to appear for Power BI and Cortana. Logging in and out of Windows 10, or otherwise restarting Cortana, causes the new content to appear immediately.<p>If you enable a dataset for Cortana, and that dataset is part of a content pack you own, youll need to re-publish for your colleagues to also use it with Cortana.
## Create a custom Answer Page for Cortana
You must create special reports, known as _Answer Pages_, to display the most commonly asked answers in Cortana. For example, if you want Cortana to quickly show sales data to your employees, you can create a 2016 sales data Answer Page that shows sales data, with various pivots, in Cortana.
After youve finished creating your Answer Page, you can continue to the included testing scenarios.
>[!NOTE]
>It can take up to 30 minutes for a custom Answer Page to appear for Power BI and Cortana. Logging in and out of Windows 10, or otherwise restarting Cortana, causes the new content to appear immediately.
**To create a custom sales data Answer Page for Cortana**
1. In Power BI, click **My Workspace**, click **Create**, and then click **Report**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to create the new report](images/cortana-powerbi-create-report.png)
2. In the **Create Report** screen, click the **Retail Analysis Sample**, and then click **Create**.
A blank report page appears.
3. In the **Visualizations** pane, click the paint roller icon, expand **Page Size**, and then pick **Cortana** from the **Type** drop-down list.
![Cortana at work, showing the Visualizations options](images/cortana-powerbi-pagesize.png)
4. In the **Fields** pane, click to expand **Sales**, expand **This year sales**, and then add both **Value** and **Goal**.
![Cortana at work, showing the Field options](images/cortana-powerbi-field-selection.png)
The automatically generated graph is added to your blank report. You have the option to change colors, add borders, add additional visualizations, and modify this page so that it answers the question about sales data as precisely, and in as custom a way, as you want. You just need to make sure that it all stays within the page borders.
5. In the **Visualizations** pane, click the paint roller icon again, expand **Page Information**, type _Sales data 2016_ into the **Name** box, turn on **Q&A**, and then add alternate report names (separated by commas) into the text box.
The alternate names help Cortana to know what questions to look for and when to show this report. To also improve your results, you should avoid using the names of your report columns.
![Cortana at work, showing the page info for your specific report](images/cortana-powerbi-report-qna.png)
6. Click **File**, click **Save as**, and save the report as _Sales data 2016_.
Because this is part of the Retail Analysis Sample, it will automatically be included as part of the dataset you included for Cortana. However, you will still need to log in and out of Windows 10, or otherwise restart Cortana, before the new content appears.
## Test Scenario: Use Cortana to show info from Power BI in your organization
Now that youve set up your device, you can use Cortana to show your info from within Power BI.
**To use Cortana with Power BI**
1. Click on the **Cortana** icon in the taskbar, and then click in the **Search** bar.
2. Type _This year in sales_.
Cortana shows you the available results.
![Cortana at work, showing the best matches based on the Power BI data](images/cortana-powerbi-search.png)
3. In the **Power BI** area, click **This year in sales in Retail Analysis Sample**.
Cortana returns your custom report.
![Cortana at work, showing your custom report from Power BI](images/cortana-powerbi-myreport.png)
>[!NOTE]
>For more info about how to connect your own data, build your own custom Power BI cards and Answer Pages for Cortana, and how to share the cards with everyone in your organization, see [Use Power BI to create a custom Answer Page for Cortana](https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-cortana-desktop-entity-cards/).

This optional scenario helps you to protect your organizations data on a device, based on an inspection by Cortana.
## Use Cortana and WIP to protect your organizations data
1. Create and deploy an WIP policy to your organization. For info about how to do this, see [Protect your enterprise data using Windows Information Protection (WIP)](../keep-secure/protect-enterprise-data-using-wip.md).
2. Create a new email from a non-protected or personal mailbox, including the text _Ill send you that presentation tomorrow_.
3. Wait up to 2 hours to make sure everything has updated, click the **Cortana** icon in the taskbar, and then click in the **Search** bar.
Cortana automatically pulls your commitment to sending the presentation out of your email, showing it to you.
4. Create a new email from a protected mailbox, including the same text as above, _Ill send you that presentation tomorrow_.
5. Wait until everything has updated again, click the **Cortana** icon in the taskbar, and then click in the **Search** bar.
Because it was in an WIP-protected email, the presentation info isnt pulled out and it isnt shown to you.

# Set up and test custom voice commands in Cortana for your organization
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10, Windows Insider Program
- Windows 10 Mobile, Windows Insider Program
>[!IMPORTANT]
>Some information relates to prereleased product which may be substantially modified before it's commercially released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Working with a developer, you can create voice commands that use Cortana to perform voice-enabled actions in your line-of-business (LOB) Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. These voice-enabled actions can reduce the time necessary to access your apps and to complete simple actions.
>[!NOTE]
>For more info about how your developer can extend your current apps to work directly with Cortana, see [Cortana interactions in UWP apps](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/input-and-devices/cortana-interactions).
## High-level process
Cortana uses a Voice Command Definition (VCD) file, aimed at an installed app, to define the actions that are to happen during certain vocal commands. A VCD file can be very simple to very complex, supporting anything from a single sound to a collection of more flexible, natural language sounds, all with the same intent.
To enable voice commands in Cortana
1. **Extend your LOB app.** Add a custom VCD file to your app package. This file defines what capabilities are available to Cortana from the app, letting you tell Cortana what vocal commands should be understood and handled by your app and how the app should start when the command is vocalized.
Cortana can perform actions on apps in the foreground (taking focus from Cortana) or in the background (allowing Cortana to keep focus). We recommend that you decide where an action should happen, based on what your voice command is intended to do. For example, if your voice command requires employee input, its best for that to happen in the foreground. However, if the app only uses basic commands and doesnt require interaction, it can happen in the background.
- **Start Cortana with focus on your app, using specific voice-enabled statements.** [Create and install a VCD file that starts a foreground app using voice commands and Cortana](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/input-and-devices/launch-a-foreground-app-with-voice-commands-in-cortana).
- **Start Cortana removing focus from your app, using specific voice-enabled statements.** [Create and install a VCD file that starts a background app using voice commands and Cortana](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/input-and-devices/launch-a-background-app-with-voice-commands-in-cortana).
2. **Install the VCD file on employees' devices**. You can use System Center Configuration Manager or Microsoft Intune to deploy and install the VCD file on your employees' devices, the same way you deploy and install any other package in your organization.
## Test Scenario: Use voice commands in a Windows Store app
While these aren't line-of-business apps, we've worked to make sure to implement a VCD file, allowing you to test how the functionality works with Cortana in your organization.
**To get a Windows Store app**
1. Go to the Windows Store, scroll down to the **Collections** area, click **Show All**, and then click **Better with Cortana**.
2. Click **Uber**, and then click **Install**.
3. Open Uber, create an account or sign in, and then close the app.
**To set up the app with Cortana**
1. Click on the **Cortana** search box in the taskbar, and then click the **Notebook** icon.
2. Click on **Connected Services**, click **Uber**, and then click **Connect**.
![Cortana at work, showing where to connect the Uber service to Cortana](images/cortana-connect-uber.png)
**To use the voice-enabled commands with Cortana**
1. Click on the **Cortana** icon in the taskbar, and then click the **Microphone** icon (to the right of the **Search** box).
2. Say _Uber get me a taxi_.
Cortana changes, letting you provide your trip details for Uber.

In Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education, you can use a Group Policy Object (GPO) to deploy a customized Start and taskbar layout to users in a domain. No reimaging is required, and the layout can be updated simply by overwriting the .xml file that contains the layout. This enables you to customize Start and taskbar layouts for different departments or organizations, with minimal management overhead.
This topic describes how to update Group Policy settings to display a customized Start and taskbar layout when the users sign in. By creating a domain-based GPO with these settings, you can deploy a customized Start and taskbar layout to users in a domain.

The worlds first personal digital assistant helps users get things done, even at work. Cortana includes powerful configuration options specifically to optimize for unique small to medium-sized business and enterprise environments.
## Cortana integration with Office 365
Cortana in Windows 10 is already great at letting your employees quickly see what the day is going to look like, see where and when their meetings are going to be, get a sense of travel times to and from work, and even get updates from a calendar for upcoming trips.
But Cortana works even harder when she connects to Office 365, helping employees prepare for meetings, learn about co-workers, and receive reminders about where they need to be so they wont be late.
>**Important**<br>
>Before your employees can use Cortana with Office 365, they must sign into Cortana using a Microsoft account (such as, @outlook.com), and then they must go to the **Connected Accounts** section of Cortanas notebook to turn on and connect to Office 365.
**More info:**
- For specific info about what you need to know as a company administrator, including how to turn off Cortana with Office 365, see the [Cortana integration with Office 365](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=717378) support topic.
- For a quick review of the frequently asked questions about Cortana and Office 365 integration, see the blog post, [An early look at Cortana integration with Office 365](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=717379).
## Cortana and Power BI
Integration between Cortana and Power BI shows how Cortana can work with custom business analytics solutions to enable you to get answers directly from your key business data, including introducing new features that let you create custom Cortana answers using the full capabilities of Power BI Desktop.
**More info:**
- For specific info about how to start using Power BI and Cortana integration, how to customize your data results, and how to use the “Hey Cortana” functionality, see the [Power BI: Announcing Power BI integration with Cortana and new ways to quickly find insights in your data](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=717382) blog.
## Cortana and Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Cortana integration is a Preview feature that's available for your test or dev environment, starting with the CRM Online 2016 Update. If you decide to use this Preview feature, you'll need to turn in on and accept the license terms. After that, salespeople will get proactive insights from Cortana on important CRM activities, including sales leads, accounts, and opportunities; presenting the most relevant info at any given time.
**More info:**
- For more info about Preview features, see [What are Preview features and how do I enable them?](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746817).

- For more info about CRM integration, how to turn on Cortana, and how to provide feedback, see [Preview feature: Set up Cortana integration](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=746819).
## Cortana and privacy
We understand that there are concerns about Cortana and enterprise privacy, so weve put together the [Cortana, Search, and privacy: FAQ](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=717383) topic that covers many of the frequently asked questions. These questions include things such as what info is collected by Cortana, where the info is saved, how to manage what data is collected, how to turn Cortana off, how to opt completely out of data collection, and what info is shared with other Microsoft apps and services.
## Set up Cortana using Group Policy and MDM policies
Set up and manage Cortana by using the following Group Policy and mobile device management (MDM) policies.
|Group policy |MDM policy |Description |

title: Start layout XML for desktop editions of Windows 10 (Windows 10)

# Start layout XML for desktop editions of Windows 10 (reference)
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
>**Looking for consumer information?** See [Customize the Start menu](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=623630)
On Windows 10 for desktop editions, the customized Start works by:
- Windows 10 checks the chosen base default layout, such as the desktop edition and whether Cortana is supported for the country/region.
- Windows 10 reads the LayoutModification.xml file and allows groups to be appended to Start. The groups have the following constraints:
- 2 groups that are 6 columns wide, or equivalent to the width of 3 medium tiles.
- 2 medium-sized tile rows in height. Windows 10 ignores any tiles that are pinned beyond the second row.
- No limit to the number of apps that can be pinned. There is a theoretical limit of 24 tiles per group (4 small tiles per medium square x 3 columns x 2 rows).
## LayoutModification XML
IT admins can provision the Start layout using a LayoutModification.xml file. This file supports several mechanisms to modify or replace the default Start layout and its tiles. The easiest method for creating a LayoutModification.xml file is by using the Export-StartLayout cmdlet; see [Customize and export Start layout](customize-and-export-start-layout.md) for instructions.
>[!NOTE]
>To make sure the Start layout XML parser processes your file correctly, follow these guidelines when working with your LayoutModification.xml file:
>- Do not leave spaces or white lines in between each element.
>- Do not add comments inside the StartLayout node or any of its children elements.
>- Do not add multiple rows of comments.
The following table lists the supported elements and attributes for the LayoutModification.xml file.
| Element | Attributes | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |

### LayoutOptions
New devices running Windows 10 for desktop editions will default to a Start menu with 2 columns of tiles unless boot to tablet mode is enabled. Devices with screens that are under 10" have boot to tablet mode enabled by default. For these devices, users see the full screen Start on the desktop. You can adjust the following features:
- Boot to tablet mode can be set on or off.
- Set full screen Start on desktop to on or off.
To do this, add the LayoutOptions element in your LayoutModification.xml file and set the FullScreenStart attribute to true or false.
- Specify the number of columns in the Start menu to 1 or 2.
To do this, add the LayoutOptions element in your LayoutModification.xml file and set the StartTileGroupsColumnCount attribute to 1 or 2.
The following example shows how to use the LayoutOptions element to specify full screen Start on the desktop and to use 1 column in the Start menu:
```XML
<LayoutModificationTemplate
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
Version="1">
<LayoutOptions
StartTileGroupsColumnCount="1"
FullScreenStart="true"
/>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>
```
For devices being upgraded to Windows 10 for desktop editions:
- Devices being upgraded from Windows 7 will default to a Start menu with 1 column.
- Devices being upgraded from Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Upgrade will default to a Start menu with 2 columns.
### RequiredStartGroups
The **RequiredStartGroups** tag contains **AppendGroup** tags that represent groups that you can append to the default Start layout.
>[!IMPORTANT]
>For Windows 10 for desktop editions, you can add a maximum of two (2) **AppendGroup** tags per **RequiredStartGroups** tag.
You can also assign regions to the append groups in the **RequiredStartGroups** tag's using the optional **Region** attribute or you can use the multivariant capabilities in Windows provisioning. If you are using the **Region** attribute, you must use a two-letter country code to specify the country/region that the append group(s) apply to. To specify more than one country/region, use a pipe ("|") delimiter as shown in the following example:
```XML
<RequiredStartGroups
Region="DE|ES|FR|GB|IT|US">
```
If the country/region setting for the Windows device matches a **RequiredStartGroups**, then the tiles laid out within the **RequiredStartGroups** is applied to Start.
If you specify a region-agnostic **RequiredStartGroups** (or one without the optional Region attribute) then the region-agnostic **RequiredStartGroups** is applied to Start.
### AppendGroup
**AppendGroup** tags specify a group of tiles that will be appended to Start. There is a maximum of two **AppendGroup** tags allowed per **RequiredStartGroups** tag.
For Windows 10 for desktop editions, AppendGroup tags contain start:Tile, start:DesktopApplicationTile, or start:SecondaryTile tags.
You can specify any number of tiles in an **AppendGroup**, but you cannot specify a tile with a **Row** attribute greater than 4. The Start layout does not support overlapping tiles.
### Specify Start tiles
To pin tiles to Start, partners must use the right kind of tile depending on what you want to pin.
#### Tile size and coordinates
All tile types require a size (**Size**) and coordinates (**Row** and **Column**) attributes regardless of the tile type that you use when prepinning items to Start.
The following table describes the attributes that you must use to specify the size and location for the tile.
| Attribute | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Size | Determines how large the tile will be.</br></br>- 1x1 - small tile</br>- 2x2 - medium tile</br>- 4x2 - wide tile</br>- 4x4 - large tile |
| Row | Specifies the row where the tile will appear. |
| Column | Specifies the column where the tile will appear. |
For example, a tile with Size="2x2", Row="2", and Column="2" results in a tile located at (2,2) where (0,0) is the top-left corner of a group.
#### start:Tile
You can use the **start:Tile** tag to pin any of the following apps to Start:
- A Universal Windows app
- A Windows 8 app or Windows 8.1 app
To specify any one of these apps, you must set the **AppUserModelID** attribute to the application user model ID that's associated with the corresponding app.
The following example shows how to pin the Microsoft Edge Universal Windows app:
```XML
<start:Tile
AppUserModelID="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="0"/>
```
#### start:DesktopApplicationTile
You can use the **start:DesktopApplicationTile** tag to pin a Windows desktop application to Start. There are two ways you can specify a Windows desktop application:
- By using a path to a shortcut link (.lnk file) to a Windows desktop application.
To pin a Windows desktop application through this method, you must first add the .lnk file in the specified location when the device first boots.
The following example shows how to pin the Command Prompt:
```XML
<start:DesktopApplicationTile
DesktopApplicationLinkPath="%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Command Prompt.lnk"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="4"/>
```
You must set the **DesktopApplicationLinkPath** attribute to the .lnk file that points to the Windows desktop application. The path also supports environment variables.
If you are pointing to a third-party Windows desktop application, you must put the .lnk file in a legacy Start Menu directory before first boot; for example, "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\" or the all users profile "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\".
- By using the application's application user model ID, if this is known. If the Windows desktop application doesn't have one, use the shortcut link option.
To pin a Windows desktop application through this method, you must set the **DesktopApplicationID** attribute to the application user model ID that's associated with the corresponding app.
The following example shows how to pin the Internet Explorer Windows desktop application:
```XML
<start:DesktopApplicationTile
DesktopApplicationID="Microsoft.Windows.Explorer"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="2"/>
```
You can also use the **start:DesktopApplicationTile** tag as one of the methods for pinning a Web link to Start. The other method is to use a Microsoft Edge secondary tile.
To pin a legacy .url shortcut to Start, you must create .url file (right-click on the desktop, select **New** > **Shortcut**, and then type a Web URL). You must add this .url file in a legacy Start Menu directory before first boot; for example, `%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\` or the all users profile `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\`.
The following example shows how to create a tile of the Web site's URL, which you can treat similarly to a Windows desktop application tile:
```XML
<start:DesktopApplicationTile
DesktopApplicationID="http://www.contoso.com/"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="2"/>
```
#### start:SecondaryTile
You can use the **start:SecondaryTile** tag to pin a Web link through a Microsoft Edge secondary tile. This method doesn't require any additional action compared to the method of using legacy .url shortcuts (through the start:DesktopApplicationTile tag).
The following example shows how to create a tile of the Web site's URL using the Microsoft Edge secondary tile:
```XML
<start:SecondaryTile
AppUserModelID="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge"
TileID="MyWeblinkTile"
Arguments="http://msn.com"
DisplayName="MySite"
Square150x150LogoUri="ms-appx:///Assets/MicrosoftEdgeSquare150x150.png"
Wide310x150LogoUri="ms-appx:///Assets/MicrosoftEdgeWide310x150.png"
ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo="true"
ShowNameOnWide310x150Logo="false"
BackgroundColor="#FF112233"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="4"/>
```
The following table describes the other attributes that you can use with the **start:SecondaryTile** tag in addition to *8Size**, **Row**, and *8Column**.
| Attribute | Required/optional | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AppUserModelID | Required | Must point to Microsoft Edge. |
| TileID | Required | Must uniquely identify your Web site tile. |
| Arguments | Required | Must contain the URL of your Web site. |
| DisplayName | Required | Must specify the text that you want users to see. |
| Square150x150LogoUri | Required | Specifies the logo to use on the 2x2 tile. |
| Wide310x150LogoUri | Optional | Specifies the logo to use on the 4x2 tile. |
| ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo | Optional | Specifies whether the display name is shown on the 2x2 tile. The values you can use for this attribute are true or false. |
| ShowNameOnWide310x150Logo | Optional | Specifies whether the display name is shown on the 4x2 tile. The values you can use for this attribute are true or false. |
| BackgroundColor | Optional | Specifies the color of the tile. You can specify the value in ARGB hexadecimal (for example, #FF112233) or specify "transparent". |
| ForegroundText | Optional | Specifies the color of the foreground text. Set the value to either "light" or "dark". |
Secondary Microsoft Edge tiles have the same size and location behavior as a Universal Windows app, Windows 8 app, or Windows 8.1 app.
#### TopMFUApps
You can use the **TopMFUApps** tag to add up to 3 default apps to the frequently used apps section in the system area, which delivers system-driven lists to the user including important or frequently accessed system locations and recently installed apps.
You can use this tag to add:
- Apps with an **AppUserModelID** attribute - This includes Windows desktop applications that have a known application user model ID. Use a **Tile** tag with the **AppUserModelID** attribute set to the app's application user model ID.
- Apps without a **AppUserModelID** attribute - For these apps, you must create a .lnk file that points to the installed app and place the .lnk file in the `%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs` directory. Use a **DesktopApplicationTile** tag with the **LinkFilePath** attribute set to the .lnk file name and path.
The following example shows how to modify your LayoutModification.xml file to add both kinds of apps to the system area in Start:
```XML
<LayoutModificationTemplate
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
Version="1">
<TopMFUApps>
<Tile AppUserModelID="Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App" />
<Tile AppUserModelID="Microsoft.Getstarted_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App" />
<DesktopApplicationTile LinkFilePath="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Win32App.lnk" />
</TopMFUApps>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>
```
#### AppendOfficeSuite
You can use the **AppendOfficeSuite** tag to add the in-box installed Office suite of apps to Start.
The following example shows how to add the **AppendOfficeSuite** tag to your LayoutModification.xml file to append the full Universal Office suite to Start:
```XML
<LayoutModificationTemplate
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
Version="1">
<AppendOfficeSuite/>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>
```
#### AppendDownloadOfficeTile
You can use the **AppendDownloadOfficeTile** tag to append the Office trial installer to Start. This tag adds the Download Office tile to Start and the download tile will appear at the bottom right-hand side of the second group.
The following example shows how to add the **AppendDownloadOfficeTile** tag to your LayoutModification.xml file:
```XML
<LayoutModificationTemplate
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/LayoutModification"
xmlns:defaultlayout="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/FullDefaultLayout"
xmlns:start="http://schemas.microsoft.com/Start/2014/StartLayout"
Version="1">
<AppendDownloadOfficeTile/>
</LayoutModificationTemplate>
```
## Sample LayoutModification.xml
The following sample LayoutModification.xml shows how you can configure the Start layout for devices running Windows 10 for desktop editions:
```XML
<LayoutModificationTemplate

## Use Windows Provisioning multivariant support
The Windows Provisioning multivariant capability allows you to declare target conditions that, when met, supply specific customizations for each variant condition. For Start customization, you can create specific layouts for each variant that you have. To do this, you must create a separate LayoutModification.xml file for each variant that you want to support and then include these in your provisioning package. For more information on how to do this, see [Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/dn916108.aspx).
The provisioning engine chooses the right customization file based on the target conditions that were met, adds the file in the location that's specified for the setting, and then uses the specific file to customize Start. To differentiate between layouts, you can add modifiers to the LayoutModification.xml filename such as "LayoutCustomization1". Regardless of the modifier that you use, the provsioning engine will always output "LayoutCustomization.xml" so that the operating system has a consistent file name to query against.
For example, if you want to ensure that there's a specific layout for a certain condition, you can:
1. Create a specific layout customization file and then name it LayoutCustomization1.xml.
2. Include the file as part of your provisioning package.
3. Create your multivariant target and reference the XML file within the target condition in the main customization XML file.
The following example shows what the overall customization file might look like with multivariant support for Start:
```XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WindowsCustomizatons>
<PackageConfig xmlns="urn:schemas-Microsoft-com:Windows-ICD-Package-Config.v1.0">
<ID>{6aaa4dfa-00d7-4aaa-8adf-73c6a7e2501e}</ID>
<Name>My Provisioning Package</Name>
<Version>1.0</Version>
<OwnerType>OEM</OwnerType>
<Rank>50</Rank>
</PackageConfig>
<Settings xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:windows-provisioning">
<Customizations>
<Targets>
<Target Id="Processor ABC">
<TargetState>
<TargetState>
<Condition Name="ProcessorName" Value="Pattern:.*Celeron.*" />
<Condition Name="ProcessorType" Value="Pattern:.*I|intel.*" />
</TargetState>
</TargetState>
</Target>
</Targets>
<Common>
<Settings>
<Policies>
<AllowBrowser>1</AllowBrowser>
<AllowCamera>1</AllowCamera>
<AllowBluetooth>1</AllowBluetooth>
</Policies>
<HotSpot>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</HotSpot>
</Settings>
</Common>
<Variant>
<TargetRefs>
<TargetRef Id="Processor ABC" />
</TargetRefs>
<Settings>
<StartLayout>c:\users\<userprofile>\appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutCustomization1.XML</StartLayout>
<HotSpot>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</HotSpot>
</Settings>
</Variant>
</Customizations>
</Settings>
</WindowsCustomizatons>
```
When the condition is met, the provisioning engine takes the XML file and places it in the location that the operating system has set and then the Start subsystem reads the file and applies the specific customized layout.
You must repeat this process for all variants that you want to support so that each variant can have a distinct layout for each of the conditions and targets that need to be supported. For example, if you add a **Language** condition, you can create a Start layout that has its own localized group.
## Add the LayoutModification.xml file to the device
Once you have created your LayoutModification.xml file to customize devices that will run Windows 10 for desktop editions, you can use Windows ICD methods to add the XML file to the device.
1. In the **Available customizations** pane, expand **Runtime settings**, select **Start** and then click the **StartLayout** setting.
2. In the middle pane, click **Browse** to open File Explorer.
3. In the File Explorer window, navigate to the location where you saved your LayoutModification.xml file.
4. Select the file and then click **Open**.
This should set the value of **StartLayout**. The setting appears in the **Selected customizations** pane.
>[!NOTE]
>There is currently no way to add the .url and .lnk files through Windows ICD.
Once you have created the LayoutModification.xml file and it is present in the device, the system overrides the base default layout and any Unattend settings used to customize Start.

# Start layout XML for mobile editions of Windows 10 (reference)
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
>**Looking for consumer information?** See [Customize the Start menu](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=623630)
On Windows 10 Mobile, you can use the XML-based layout to modify the Start screen and provide the most robust and complete Start customization experience.
On Windows 10 Mobile, the customized Start works by:
- Windows 10 performs checks to determine the correct base default layout. The checks include the mobile edition, whether the device is dual SIM, the column width, and whether Cortana is supported for the country/region.
- Windows 10 ensures that it does not overwrite the layout that you have set and will sequence the level checks and read the file layout such that any multivariant settings that you have set is not overwritten.
- Windows 10 reads the LayoutModification.xml file and appends the group to the Start screen.
## Default Start layouts
The following diagrams show the default Windows 10, version 1607 Start layouts for single SIM and dual SIM devices with Cortana support, and single SIM and dual SIM devices with no Cortana support.
![Start layout for Windows 10 Mobile](images\mobile-start-layout.png)
The diagrams show:
- Tile coordinates - These are determined by the row number and the column number.
- Fold - Tiles "above the fold" are visible when users first navigate to the Start screen. Tiles "below the fold" are visible after users scroll up.
- Partner-customizable tiles - OEM and mobile operator partners can customize these areas of the Start screen by prepinning content. The partner configurable slots are:
- Rows 6-9
- Rows 16-19
## LayoutModification XML
IT admins can provision the Start layout by creating a LayoutModification.xml file. This file supports several mechanisms to modify or replace the default Start layout and its tiles.
>[!NOTE]
>To make sure the Start layout XML parser processes your file correctly, follow these guidelines when writing your LayoutModification.xml file:
>- Do not leave spaces or white lines in between each element.
>- Do not add comments inside the StartLayout node or any of its children elements.
>- Do not add multiple rows of comments.
The following table lists the supported elements and attributes for the LayoutModification.xml file.
| Element | Attributes | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| LayoutModificationTemplate | xmlns</br>xmlns:defaultlayout</br>xmlns:start</br>Version | Use to describe the changes to the default Start layout. |
| DefaultLayoutOverride</br></br>Parent:</br>LayoutModificationTemplate | n/a | Use to specify the customized Start layout for mobile devices. |
| StartLayoutCollection</br></br>Parent:</br>DefaultLayoutOverride | n/a | Use to contain a collection of Start layouts. |
| StartLayout</br></br>Parent:</br>StartLayoutCollection | n/a | Use to specify the tile groups that will be appended to the Start screen. |
| start:Group</br></br>Parent:</br>StartLayout | Name | Use to specify the tiles that need to be appended to the default Start layout. |
| start:Tile</br></br>Parent:</br>start:Group | AppUserModelID</br>Size</br>Row</br>Column | Use to specify any Universal Windows app that has a valid **AppUserModelID** attribute. |

| RequiredStartTiles</br></br>Parent:</br>LayoutModificationTemplate | n/a | Use to specify the tiles that will be pinned to the bottom of the Start screen even if a restored Start screen does not have the tiles during backup or restore. |
### start:Group
**start:Group** tags specify a group of tiles that will be appended to Start. You can set the **Name** attribute to specify a name for the Start group.
>[!NOTE]
>Windows 10 Mobile only supports one Start group.
For Windows 10 Mobile, **start:Group** tags can contain the following tags or elements:
- **start:Tile**
- **start:SecondaryTile**
- **start:PhoneLegacyTile**
- **start:Folder**
### Specify Start tiles
To pin tiles to Start, you must use the right kind of tile depending on what you want to pin.
#### Tile size and coordinates
All tile types require a size (**Size**) and coordinates (**Row** and **Column**) attributes regardless of the tile type that you use when prepinning items to Start.
The following table describes the attributes that you must use to specify the size and location for the tile.
| Attribute | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Size | Determines how large the tile will be. </br>- 1x1 - small tile</br>- 2x2 - medium tile</br>- 4x2 - wide tile</br>- 4x4 - large tile |
| Row | Specifies the row where the tile will appear. |
| Column | Specifies the column where the tile will appear. |
For example, a tile with Size="2x2", Row="2", and Column="2" results in a tile located at (2,2) where (0,0) is the top-left corner of a group.
#### start:Tile
You can use the **start:Tile** tag to pin a Universal Windows app to Start.
To specify an app, you must set the **AppUserModelID** attribute to the application user model ID that's associated with the corresponding app.
The following example shows how to pin the Microsoft Edge Universal Windows app:
```XML
<start:Tile
AppUserModelID="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="0"/>
```
#### start:SecondaryTile
You can use the **start:SecondaryTile** tag to pin a Web link through a Microsoft Edge secondary tile.
The following example shows how to create a tile of the Web site's URL using the Microsoft Edge secondary tile:
```XML
<start:SecondaryTile
AppUserModelID="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge"
TileID="MyWeblinkTile"
Arguments="http://msn.com"
DisplayName="MySite"
Square150x150LogoUri="ms-appx:///Assets/MicrosoftEdgeSquare150x150.png"
Wide310x150LogoUri="ms-appx:///Assets/MicrosoftEdgeWide310x150.png"
ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo="true"
ShowNameOnWide310x150Logo="false"
BackgroundColor="#FF112233"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="4"/>
```
The following table describes the other attributes that you can use with the **start:SecondaryTile** tag in addition to **Size**, **Row**, and **Column**.
| Attribute | Required/optional | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| AppUserModelID | Required | Must point to Microsoft Edge. |
| TileID | Required | Must uniquely identify your Web site tile. |
| Arguments | Required | Must contain the URL of your Web site. |
| DisplayName | Required | Must specify the text that you want users to see. |
| Square150x150LogoUri | Required | Specifies the logo to use on the 2x2 tile. |
| Wide310x150LogoUri | Optional | Specifies the logo to use on the 4x2 tile. |
| ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo | Optional | Specifies whether the display name is shown on the 2x2 tile. You can set the value for this attribute to true or false. By default, this is set to false. |
| ShowNameOnWide310x150Logo | Optional | Specifies whether the display name is shown on the 4x2 tile. You can set the value for this attribute to true or false. By default, this is set to false. |
| BackgroundColor | Optional | Specifies the color of the tile. You can specify the value in ARGB hexadecimal (for example, #FF112233) or specify "transparent". |
| ForegroundText | Optional | Specifies the color of the foreground text. Set the value to either "light" or "dark". |
Secondary Microsoft Edge tiles have the same size and location behavior as a Universal Windows app.
#### start:PhoneLegacyTile
You can use the **start:PhoneLegacyTile** tag to add a mobile app that has a valid ProductID, which you can find in the app's manifest file. The **ProductID** attribute must be set to the GUID of the app.
The following example shows how to add a mobile app with a valid ProductID using the start:PhoneLegacyTile tag:
```XML
<start:PhoneLegacyTile
ProductID="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="2"/>
```
#### start:Folder
You can use the **start:Folder** tag to add a folder to the mobile device's Start screen.
You must set these attributes to specify the size and location of the folder: **Size**, **Row**, and **Column**.
Optionally, you can also specify a folder name by using the **Name** attribute. If you specify a name, set the value to a string.
The position of the tiles inside a folder is relative to the folder. You can add any of the following tile types to the folder:
- Tile - Use to pin a Universal Windows app to Start.
- SecondaryTile - Use to pin a Web link through a Microsoft Edge secondary tile.
- PhoneLegacyTile - Use to pin a mobile app that has a valid ProductID.
The following example shows how to add a medium folder that contains two apps inside it:
```XML
<start:Folder
Name="Contoso apps"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="2">
<start:Tile
AppUserModelID="Microsoft.BingMaps_8wekyb3d8bbwe!ApplicationID"
Size="2x2"
Row="0"
Column="0"/>
<start:PhoneLegacyTile
ProductID="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}"
Size="1x1"
Row="0"
Column="2"/>
</start:Folder>
```
#### RequiredStartTiles
You can use the **RequiredStartTiles** tag to specify the tiles that will be pinned to the bottom of the Start screen even if a restored Start screen does not have the tiles during backup or restore.
>[!NOTE]
>Enabling this Start customization may be disruptive to the user experience.
For Windows 10 Mobile, **RequiredStartTiles** tags can contain the following tags or elements. These are similar to the tiles supported in **start:Group**.
- Tile - Use to pin a Universal Windows app to Start.
- SecondaryTile - Use to pin a Web link through a Microsoft Edge secondary tile.
- PhoneLegacyTile - Use to pin a mobile app that has a valid ProductID.
- Folder - Use to pin a folder to the mobile device's Start screen.
Tiles specified within the **RequiredStartTiles** tag have the following behavior:
- The partner-pinned tiles will begin in a new row at the end of the user-restored Start screen.
- If theres a duplicate tile between what the user has in their Start screen layout and what the OEM has pinned to the Start screen, only the app or tile shown in the user-restored Start screen layout will be shown and the duplicate tile will be omitted from the pinned partner tiles at the bottom of the Start screen.
The lack of duplication only applies to pinned apps. Pinned Web links may be duplicated.
- If partners have prepinned folders to the Start screen, Windows 10 treats these folders in the same way as appended apps on the Start screen. Duplicate folders will be removed.
- All partner tiles that are appended to the bottom of the user-restored Start screen will be medium-sized. There will be no gaps in the appended partner Start screen layout. Windows 10 will shift tiles accordingly to prevent gaps.
## Sample LayoutModification.xml
The following sample LayoutModification.xml shows how you can configure the Start layout for devices running Windows 10 Mobile:

## Use Windows Provisioning multivariant support
The Windows Provisioning multivariant capability allows you to declare target conditions that, when met, supply specific customizations for each variant condition. For Start customization, you can create specific layouts for each variant that you have. To do this, you must create a separate LayoutModification.xml file for each variant that you want to support and then include these in your provisioning package. For more information on how to do this, see Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings.
The provisioning engine chooses the right customization file based on the target conditions that were met, adds the file in the location that's specified for the setting, and then uses the specific file to customize Start. To differentiate between layouts, you can add modifiers to the LayoutModification.xml filename such as "LayoutCustomization1". Regardless of the modifier that you use, the provsioning engine will always output "LayoutCustomization.xml" so that the OS has a consistent file name to query against.
For example, if you want to ensure that there's a specific layout for a certain mobile operator in a certain country/region, you can:
1. Create a specific layout customization file and then name it LayoutCustomization1.xml.
2. Include the file as part of your provisioning package.
3. Create your multivariant target and reference the XML file within the target condition in the main customization XML file.
The following example shows what the overall customization file might look like with multivariant support for Start:
```XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WindowsCustomizatons>
<PackageConfig xmlns="urn:schemas-Microsoft-com:Windows-ICD-Package-Config.v1.0">

</TargetState>
</Target>
<Target Id="Processor ABC">
<TargetState>
<TargetState>
<Condition Name="ProcessorName" Value="Pattern:.*Celeron.*" />
<Condition Name="ProcessorType" Value="Pattern:.*I|intel.*" />
</TargetState>
</TargetState>
</Target>
</Targets>
<Common>
<Settings>
<Policies>
<AllowBrowser>1</AllowBrowser>
<AllowCamera>1</AllowCamera>
<AllowBluetooth>1</AllowBluetooth>
</Policies>
<HotSpot>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</HotSpot>
</Settings>
</Common>
<Variant>
<TargetRefs>
<TargetRef Id="Operator XYZ" />
</TargetRefs>
<Settings>
<StartLayout>c:\users\<userprofile>\appdata\local\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\LayoutCustomization1.XML</StartLayout>
<HotSpot>
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</HotSpot>
</Settings>
</Variant>
</Customizations>
</Settings>
</WindowsCustomizatons>
```
When the condition is met, the provisioning engine takes the XML file and places it in the location that Windows 10 has set and then the Start subsystem reads the file and applies the specific customized layout.
You must repeat this process for all variants that you want to support so that each variant can have a distinct layout for each of the conditions and targets that need to be supported. For example, if you add a **Language** condition, you can create a Start layout that has it's own localized group or folder titles.
## Add the LayoutModification.xml file to the image
Once you have created your LayoutModification.xml file to customize devices that will run Windows 10 Mobile, you can use Windows ICD to add the XML file to the device:
1. In the **Available customizations** pane, expand **Runtime settings**, select **Start** and then click the **StartLayout** setting.
2. In the middle pane, click **Browse** to open File Explorer.
3. In the File Explorer window, navigate to the location where you saved your LayoutModification.xml file.
4. Select the file and then click **Open**.
This should set the value of **StartLayout**. The setting appears in the **Selected customizations** pane.

## Servicing branches
To align with the new method of delivering feature updates and quality updates in Windows 10, Microsoft introduced the concept of servicing branches to allow customers to designate how aggressively their individual machines are updated. For example, an organization may have test machines that the IT department can update with new features as soon as possible, and then specialized devices that require a longer feature update cycle to ensure continuity. With that in mind, Microsoft offers three servicing branches for Windows 10: Current Branch (CB), Current Branch for Business (CBB), and Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). In addition, the Windows Insider Program provides IT pros and other interested parties with prerelease Windows builds that they can test and ultimately provide feedback on to Microsoft. For details about the versions in each servicing branch, see [Windows 10 release information](https://technet.microsoft.com/windows/release-info.aspx).

In the CB servicing model, feature updates are available as soon as Microsoft releases them. Windows 10 version 1511 had few servicing tool options to delay CB feature updates, limiting the use of the CB servicing branch. Windows 10 version 1607, however, includes more servicing tools that can delay CB feature updates for up to 180 days. The CB servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of Windows 10 feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features immediately.
When Microsoft officially releases a feature update for Windows 10, that update is marked for CB, making it available to any PC not configured to defer feature updates so that those machines can immediately install it. Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, or Windows Update for Business, however, can defer CB feature updates to selective machines by withholding their approval and deployment. In this scenario, the content available for CB will be available but not necessarily immediately mandatory, depending on the policy of the management system. Only one CB build of Windows is supported at a time, so those clients not on the most current build will not receive quality updates (after a 60 day grace period) until the most current feature update has been installed.

- **Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)** provides extensive control over Windows 10 updates and is natively available in the Windows Server operating system. In addition to the ability to defer updates, organizations can add an approval layer for updates and choose to deploy them to specific computers or groups of computers whenever ready.
- **System Center Configuration Manager** provides the greatest control over servicing Windows as a service. IT pros can defer updates, approve them, and have multiple options for targeting deployments and managing bandwidth usage and deployment times.

# Quick guide to Windows as a service
**Applies to**
- Windows 10
- Windows 10 Mobile
- Windows 10 IoT Mobile
Windows as a service is a new concept, introduced with the release of Windows 10. While [an extensive set of documentation](waas-update-windows-10.md) is available explaining all the specifics and nuances, here is a quick guide to the most important concepts.
## Definitions
Some new terms have been introduced as part of Windows as a service, so you should know what these terms mean.
- **Feature updates** will be released two to three times per year. As the name suggests, these will add new features to Windows 10, delivered in bite-sized chunks compared to the previous practice of Windows releases every 3-5 years.
- **Quality updates** are released monthly, delivering both security and non-security fixes. These are cumulative, so installing the latest quality update is sufficient to get all the available fixes for a specific Windows 10 feature update.
- **Insider Preview** builds are made available during the development of the features that will be shipped in the next feature update, enabling organizations to validate new features as well as compatibility with existing apps and infrastructure, providing feedback to Microsoft on any issues encountered.
- **Servicing branches** allow organizations to choose when to deploy new features. Current Branch (CB) deploys the fastest, soon after a feature update is released. Current Branch for Business (CBB) defers the installation of the same feature update by about four months, until that feature update is considered ready for broad deployment. Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) is different, used only for specialized devices (which typically dont run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines that need to be kept stable and secure.
- **Deployment rings** are groups of devices used to initially pilot, and then to broadly deploy, each feature update in an organization.
See [Overview of Windows as a service](waas-overview.md) for more information.
## Key Concepts
New feature update releases are initially considered **Current Branch (CB) releases**; organizations will use these for pilot deployments to ensure compatibility with existing apps and infrastructure. After about four months, the feature update will be declared as **Current Branch for Business (CBB)**, indicating that it is ready for broad deployment.
Each Windows 10 feature update (which initially begins as CB and then is declared as CBB) will be serviced with quality updates for a minimum of 18 months after it is released. The total length of time can be longer, as there will be two CBB releases serviced at all times. There will be a minimum of 60 days advanced notice (a grace period) after a CBB declaration occurs before an older feature update is no longer serviced.
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB is a separate **Long Term Servicing Branch (LTSB)** version. Each release is supported for a total of 10 years (five years standard support, five years extended support). New releases are expected about every three years.
See [Assign devices to servicing branches for Windows 10 updates](waas-servicing-branches-windows-10-updates.md) for more information.
## Staying up to date
The process for keeping Windows 10 up to date involves deploying a feature update, at an appropriate time after its release. A variety of tools management and patching tools such as Windows Update, Windows Update for Business, Windows Server Update Services, System Center Configuration Manager, and third-party products) can be used to help with this process. [Windows Upgrade Analytics](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/upgrade-analytics), a free tool to streamline Windows upgrade projects, is another important tool to help.
Because app compatibility, both for desktop apps and web apps, is outstanding with Windows 10, extensive advanced testing isnt required. Instead, only business-critical apps need to be tested, with the remaining apps validated through a series of pilot deployment rings. Once these pilot deployments have validated most apps and CBB has been declared, broad deployment can begin.
This process repeats with each new feature update, two to three times per year. These are small deployment projects, compared to the big projects that were necessary with the old three-to-five-year Windows release cycles.
Additional technologies such as BranchCache and Delivery Optimization, both peer-to-peer distribution tools, can help with the distribution of the feature update installation files.
See [Build deployment rings for Windows 10 updates](waas-deployment-rings-windows-10-updates.md) and [Optimize update delivery for Windows 10 updates](waas-optimize-windows-10-updates.md) for more information.

When **Configure Automatic Updates** is enabled, you can enable one of the following additional policies to manage device restart:
- **Turn off auto-restart for updates during active hours** prevents automatic restart during active hours.
- **Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** forces a restart after the specified installation time and lets you configure a timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur.
- **Always automatically restart at the scheduled time** forces a restart after the specified installation time and lets you configure a timer to warn a signed-in user that a restart is going to occur. To set the time, you need to go **Configure Automatic Updates**, select option **4 - Auto download and schedule the install**, and then enter a time in the **Scheduled install time** dropdown.
- **No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations** prevents automatic restart when a user is signed in. If a user schedules the restart in the update notification, the device will restart at the time the user specifies even if a user is signed in at the time. This policy only applies when **Configure Automatic Updates** is set to option **4-Auto download and schedule the install**.

Windows as a service provides a new way to think about building, deploying, and servicing the Windows operating system. The Windows as a service model is focused on continually providing new capabilities and updates while maintaining a high level of hardware and software compatibility. Deploying new versions of Windows is simpler than ever before: Microsoft releases new features two to three times per year rather than the traditional upgrade cycle where new features are only made available every few years. Ultimately, this model replaces the need for traditional Windows deployment projects, which can be disruptive and costly, and spreads the required effort out into a continuous updating process, reducing the overall effort required to maintain Windows 10 devices in your environment. In addition, with the Windows 10 operating system, organizations have the chance to try out “flighted” builds of Windows as Microsoft develops them, gaining insight into new features and the ability to provide continual feedback about them.
