Customized Start Menu not persisting after upgrade in Windows 10

If you use a roaming user profile, and have a customized Start Menu, after upgrading to a later version of Windows 10, your customized Start Menu does not persist.

1. After upgrading to a newer version of Windows 10, install the latest monthly update on the system
2. Use the credentials of a local admin to create and set the following registry key:
    
   Registry subkey:
   HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ProfSvc\Parameters​
    
   Registry key name:
   UseProfilePathMinorExtensionVersion
    
   ​Registry type: DWORD​
    
   Set the value data to 1 to create a new roaming profile for all roaming users on systems using the new OS version.​
3. Reboot the system.​​
4. Login to Windows using an account with Roaming Profile to verify the workaround is enabled.

To use UseProfilePathMinorExtensionVersion, install a latest cumulative update (LCU) released April 25, 2019 or later, such as:

• KB4493436 or higher LCU for Windows 10, version 1703.

• KB4493440 or higher LCU for Windows 10, version 1709.

• KB4493437 or higher LCU for Windows 10, version 1803.
