Windows 10 StartLayout XML file missing last section

[Rafisher1]

Run as PowerShell Administrator:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Export-StartLayout -Path "D:\Custom_StartLayout.xml"


When I open the xml file the last group "More Readers" is completely missing. All else looks okay.



Here is the beginning code, first group, last group "eBook Readers" and the ending code.

Skipped five groups for brevity

<start:Group Name="eBook Readers">

"More Readers" group should follow "eBook Readers" group.
