Reset after Windows11 Preview Menu Update

After upgrading to Release Preview build 26200.7623, the customized Start menu layout has been reset to its default state. Currently, no option to restore the previous custom appearance is found in the settings. Please confirm whether this customization feature still exists and provide instructions for restoring it.

    As of the latest Insider builds (including Release Preview build 26200.7623), the feature to save and restore custom Start menu layouts directly through Settings has been limited or removed from the GUI.

    Upgrading to a new build, especially a Release Preview, can sometimes reset certain customizations like the Start menu layout. As of the latest updates, Windows does not provide a direct option in Settings to restore a previously customized Start menu layout after it has been reset.
