Default behavior of Microsoft Windows 10 affecting Workspace Control

Start Menu folder structure

The Start Menu in Microsoft Windows 10 uses a folder structure that is only one level deep.

This affects Workspace Control sessions in the following scenario:

  • At Composition > Applications, on the Start Menu tab, applications are sorted into a nested folder structure.
  • A Workspace Control session is running on Microsoft Windows 10.

In this scenario, only the top-level folder is displayed in the Start Menu. Applications from any sub-folders are listed by application name as if they were in the top folder.

Group Policy "Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands" results in a black box in the Start Menu

If the Microsoft Group Policy "Remove and prevent access to the Shut Down, Restart, Sleep, and Hibernate commands" is enabled, on Windows 10, a black box appears in the user's Start Menu instead of the actual options.

This affects Workspace Control sessions when using the following Lockdown and Behavior options that make use of the same policy:

  • Disable "Shutdown" for all users on all computers
  • Disable "Shutdown" for end users on workstations.
