Backup Start Menu Layout

One of the perks of Windows 10 is that it allows you to pin applications in the Start Menu so you can access them conveniently whenever necessary. You can group and resize them so that the tools you use frequently are readily available. Then again, all your hard work can go to waste if you deal with a new app installation, corrupted registry key or perhaps a bad update, for instance.

Backup Start Menu Layout is a handy tool that allows you to create backups for your customized Start Menu so that you can quickly restore it in case something were to happen to mess it up.

The program is portable and hence, you do not need to spend time with the installation or configuration; simply decompress the archive in the desired location and use the executable specific to your system type. The interface consists of a single window that incorporates the main functions, namely create a backup, restore, remove, restore and refresh the list.

As you probably hinted, you need to create a backup the first time you use the tool. In case you create several configurations and you no longer need the older versions, you can remove them with just one click. If you want to start building the Start Menu from scratch or perhaps, want to recover apps that you unpinned by mistake, then you can access the restore button.

It is worth mentioning that the program also works with the Windows console and you can check out the appropriate commands to be used from the File menu.

In the eventuality that you took the time and energy to arrange the Start Menu so that the utilities that you use frequently are readily available, then you should consider saving your work via Backup Start Menu Layout.
