Start menu layout cannot be changed

Having just installed an evaluation copy of Windows Server 2019, I cannot make any changes to the start menu layout. For example; unchecking "Show app list in Start menu" from the Start menu settings...

i got told, the adminsitrator account is somehow a temporary profile which gets reset by logging out. This can be disabled somehow by policy. But hadn't time to look at it.

  Ty this one:

    Will try, thanks!
    
    From my understanding the policy prevents a temporary profile from being loaded in case the regular one can't be loaded. I didn't find any hint on that in the system logs.
    
    Update:
    Nope, still doesn't work. I'm definetely not logged on with a temproary profile since shortcuts I pin to the taskbar remain intact.
    
    Thanks anyway!
