Start/ImportEdgeAssets

Home Pro Business Enterprise Education Mobile Mobile Enterprise
cross mark check mark2 check mark2 check mark2 check mark2 cross mark cross mark

Note

 This policy requires reboot to take effect.

Added in Windows 10, version 1703. This policy imports Edge assets (e.g. .png/.jpg files) for secondary tiles into its local app data path which allows the StartLayout policy to pin Edge secondary tiles as weblink that tie to the image asset files.

Important

 Please note that the import happens only when StartLayout policy is changed. So it is better to always change ImportEdgeAssets policy at the same time as StartLayout policy whenever there are Edge secondary tiles to be pinned from StartLayout policy.

The value set for this policy is an XML string containing Edge assets. An example XML string is provided in the [Microsoft Edge assets example](#microsoft-edge-assets-example) later in this topic.

To validate on Desktop, do the following:

  1. Set policy with an XML for Edge assets.
  2. Set StartLayout policy to anything so that it would trigger the Edge assets import.
  3. Sign out/in.
  4. Verify that all Edge assets defined in XML show up in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState path.

Start/StartLayout

Home Pro Business Enterprise Education Mobile Mobile Enterprise
cross mark cross mark check mark check mark cross mark cross mark

Important

This node is set on a per-user basis and must be accessed using the following paths:

  • ./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Start/StartLayout to configure the policy.
  • ./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Result/Start/StartLayout to query the current value of the policy.

Added in Windows 10 version 1703: In addition to being able to set this node on a per user-basis, it can now also be set on a per-device basis using the following paths:

  • ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Start/StartLayout to configure the policy.
  • ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Result/Start/StartLayout to query the current value of the policy.

Allows you to override the default Start layout and prevents the user from changing it. If both user and device policies are set, the user policy will be used. Apps pinned to the taskbar can also be changed with this policy

This policy is described in [Start/StartLayout Examples](#startlayout-examples) later in this topic.
