# Customize Windows 10 Start and taskbar with mobile device management (MDM)
|
|
|
|
>**Looking for consumer information?** [Customize the Start menu](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=623630)
|
|
|
|
In Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Enterprise, and Windows 10 Education, you can use a mobile device management (MDM) policy to deploy a customized Start and taskbar layout to users. No reimaging is required. The layout can be updated simply by overwriting the `.xml` file that contains the layout. This feature enables you to customize Start layouts for different departments or organizations, with minimal management overhead.
|
|
|
|
>[!NOTE]
|
|
>Support for applying a customized taskbar using MDM is added in Windows 10, version 1703.
|
|
|
|
**Before you begin**: [Customize and export Start layout](customize-and-export-start-layout.md) for desktop editions (also works for taskbar customization).
|
|
|
|
>[!WARNING]
|
|
>When a full Start layout is applied with this method, the users cannot pin, unpin, or uninstall apps from Start. Users can view and open all apps in the **All Apps** view, but they cannot pin any apps to Start. When a partial Start layout is applied, the contents of the specified tile groups cannot be changed, but users can move those groups, and can also create and customize their own groups.

## <a href="" id="bkmk-howstartscreencontrolworks"></a>How Start layout control works
|
|
|
|
Two features enable Start layout control:
|
|
|
|
- The **Export-StartLayout** cmdlet in Windows PowerShell exports a description of the current Start layout in .xml file format.
|
|
|
|
>[!NOTE]
|
|
>To import the layout of Start to a mounted Windows image, use the [Import-StartLayout](/powershell/module/startlayout/import-startlayout) cmdlet.
|
|
|
|
- In Microsoft Intune, you select the Start layout XML file and add it to a device configuration profile.
|
|
|
|
>[!NOTE]
|
|
>Please do not include XML Prologs like \<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?\> in the Start layout XML file. The settings may not be reflected correctly.
|
|
|
|
## <a href="" id="bkmk-domaingpodeployment"></a>Create a policy for your customized Start layout
|
|
|
|
The following example uses Microsoft Intune to configure an MDM policy that applies a customized Start layout:
|
|
|
|
1. Sign in to the [Intune admin center](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2109431).
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Devices** > **Configuration profiles** > **Create profile**.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the following properties:
|
|
|
|
- **Platform**: Select **Windows 10 and later**.
|
|
- **Profile type**: Select **Templates** > **Device restrictions** > **Create**.
|
|
|
|
1. In **Basics**, enter the following properties:
|
|
|
|
- **Name**: Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Name your profiles so you can easily identify it later. For example, a good profile name is **Customize Start menu and taskbar**.
|
|
- **Description**: Enter a description for the profile. This setting is optional, but recommended.
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Next**.
|
|
|
|
1. In **Configuration settings**, select **Start**:
|
|
|
|
- If you're using an XML file, select **Start menu layout**. Browse to and select your Start layout XML file.
|
|
- If you don't have an XML file, configure the others settings. For more information on these settings, see [Start settings in Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/configuration/device-restrictions-windows-10#start).
|
|
|
|
1. Select **Next**.
|
|
1. In **Scope tags**, select **Next**. For more information about scope tags, see [Use RBAC and scope tags for distributed IT](/mem/intune/fundamentals/scope-tags).
|
|
1. In **Assignments**, select the user or groups that will receive your profile. Select **Next**. For more information on assigning profiles, see [Assign user and device profiles](/mem/intune/configuration/device-profile-assign).
|
|
1. In **Review + create**, review your settings. When you select **Create**, your changes are saved, and the profile is assigned. The policy is also shown in the profiles list.
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> For third party partner MDM solutions, you may need to use an OMA-URI setting for Start layout, based on the [Policy configuration service provider (CSP)](/windows/client-management/mdm/policy-configuration-service-provider). The OMA-URI setting is `./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Start/StartLayout`.
