StartLayout
Note Starting with Windows 10, version 1703, this setting can no longer be used in provisioning packages. For more information on changes to the Windows Provisioning Framework, see Windows Provisioning Framework. This setting may have a Configuration Service Provider (CSP) equivalent that can be used instead. To determine if a CSP for this setting exists, see the description below.
Contains legacy settings for the Start tile layout on mobile devices.
Note Do not use these settings if you are using the new LayoutModification.xml schema to configure the Start screen. Use Start > StartLayout and Start > StartLayoutFilePath instead.
Follow the guidance in this Microsoft Web site to configure the legacy Start customization for mobile devices.
Windows 10 contains a mechanism that translates the legacy Start settings into a layout that works on Windows 10 Mobile. OEMs who decide to use the legacy registry key default layout method must set the following registry subkey so that the system will use the legacy path rather than the XML provisioning method:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\OEM\Start\LegacyDefaultLayout
The subkey is a REG_DWORD which accepts the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
0x0 |
Do not use the legacy mobile Start layout. |
0x1 |
Use the legacy registry-key based mobile Start layout. |
If you set the value to 0x1, or specify that the legacy method should be used, the Start functionality is limited to the legacy methods and templates available in Windows Phone 8.1. This includes support for:
- Featured tiles
- Stub apps
- Folders
- Multivariant configurations
- Available Start layout templates in Windows Phone 8.1
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
Use to select the featured tile on the device's Start screen. |
|
Use to pin diagnostic tiles to assist in debugging. |
