Comment on How to Actually Clean Install Windows 11

No, sorry. But the line in question is just

copy-item start2.bin C:\users\default\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperiencehost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\

Replace default with your actual username. Default is the one that gets used for new users when they log in for the first time.

You need a clean start2.bin file ofc. To get that, just manually create a start menu you like and copy the file from the above location.

The old export-startmenulayout commands from windows 10 don’t work for windows 11.

Thanks for the direct info share!

  I think it is still called PowerShell, but to differentiate the installation source, Microsoft seem to be referring to the cross-platform version you can download from GitHub or via WinGet as PowerShell Core and the version that ships with Windows as Windows PowerShell

Wasn’t sure if the 7.x reincorporated/added whatever way it might be worded to mean “working again in”
    
    I should’ve clarified that in the original, my b
