How to backup Windows 10 start menu layout

backupstart-menuwindows 10

I have 3 Windows 10 devices and I wanna backup and import start menu layout on each device as Windows 10 isn't supporting layout syncing.

Most of the solutions I've found are for Windows 8 only.

One site showed me a way to export the layout by using this command:

Export-StartLayout -Path C:\StartLayout.XML

but nothing about how to import it!

I tried steps mentioned in this article and both of them shows me this error

Export-StartLayout : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'as'
At line:1 char:20
+ export-startlayout -as bin -path c: \customstartscreenlayout.bin ?ver ...
+                    ~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Export-StartLayout], ParameterBindingException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.Windows.StartLayout.Commands.ExportStartLayoutCommand

This is a screenshot for everything I've tried .. https://goo.gl/Dya6ey

Apparently the As parametered is only available in Windows 8.1 and 2012 R2. Try without it, just name the file .bin.

Export-StartLayout -Path C:\StartLayout.BIN
