CopyProfile in Build 1607 not fully working?
I've encountered a strange behavior of the CopyProfile feature in Windows 10 Anniversary Update. We typically create our images in Audit Mode on a VM and use CopyProfile in the Answer File to make sure all users have the same visual experience. This includes not only the Start Tile layout, but also general settings like: always show all icons in Notification Area; File Explorer opens to This PC instead of Quick Access; and most Startup items being set to "Disabled" in the Task Manager's Startup pane.
Until recently this has always worked without any problems (since they fixed it with Build 1511 of course), but in the last two weeks every time I pull a new copy of my image the Start Tiles are fine, but NONE of those other options I mentioned get carried over into the new Default profile! I know the CopyProfile switch is being processed because the layout of our Start menu is as I expect it to be (no tiles at all, only the All Apps menu), but that appears to be the only aspect of the profile being carried over. I pride myself on the appearance of my image, and I'm admittedly fanatical about my notification area and especially File Explorer opening onto This PC.
Has anyone else had this same experience? I don't know of anywhere in the image offhand that I could have accidentally chosen this behavior...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
