Windows 10 start menu problems and copyprofile

- You can still use CopyProfile, but it's not required if all you want is a custom start menu layout - you can import that using the PowerShell "Import-StartLayout" command prior to a user logging onto the system, then they will pick up that layout as default.
UPDATE - WORKAROUND:
Adding these lines to the SetupComplete script for Sysprep fixed the CopyProfile issues for us in 1703:
Add these to: %WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts\SetupComplete.cmd
del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCacheLock.dat del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache\*.* del /F /Q C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\*.*
I've spent the last 10 hours trying to find out why our newest 1709 image build has been having issues with searching and some start menu functionality with domain accounts. I saw the tons of WebCache errors produced, but I hadn't made the connection mentally that it could be related to the CopyProfile function, since it worked fine with the 1703 build. This turns out to be the appropriate solution (besides MS not breaking this mess repeatedly), and I'm a little flustered I had to dig so deep to find the one person who managed to make sense of something MS has failed to figure out. Thanks a ton for this info. You rock!
