# Configure Surface Hub Start menu
The [January 17, 2018 update to Windows 10](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4057144) (build 15063.877) enables customized Start menus on Surface Hub devices. You apply the customized Start menu layout using mobile device management (MDM).
When you apply a customized Start menu layout to Surface Hub, users cannot pin, unpin, or uninstall apps from Start.
## How to apply a customized Start menu to Surface Hub
The customized Start menu is defined in a Start layout XML file. You have two options for creating your Start layout XML file:
- Edit the [default Surface Hub Start XML](#default)
-or-
- Configure the desired Start menu on a desktop (pinning only apps that are available on Surface Hub), and then [export the layout](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/customize-and-export-start-layout#export-the-start-layout).
>[!TIP]
>To add a tile with a web link to your desktop start menu, go to the link in Microsoft Edge, select `...` in the top right corner, and select **Pin this page to Start**. See [a Start layout that includes a Microsoft Edge link](#edge) for an example of how links will appear in the XML.
To edit the default XML or the exported layout, familiarize yourself with the [Start layout XML](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/start-layout-xml-desktop). There are a few [differences between Start layout on a deskop and a Surface Hub.](#differences)
When you have your Start menu defined in a Start layout XML, [create an MDM policy to apply the layout.](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/customize-windows-10-start-screens-by-using-mobile-device-management#a-href-idbkmk-domaingpodeploymentacreate-a-policy-for-your-customized-start-layout)

## Differences between Surface Hub and desktop Start menu
There are a few key differences between Start menu customization for Surface Hub and a Windows 10 desktop:
- You cannot use **DesktopApplicationTile** (https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/configuration/start-layout-xml-desktop#startdesktopapplicationtile) in your Start layout XML because Windows desktop applications (Win32) are not supported on Surface Hub.
- You cannot use the Start layout XML to configure the taskbar or the Welcome screen for Surface Hub.
- Surface Hub supports a maximum of 6 columns (6 1x1 tiles), however, you **must** define `GroupCellWidth=8` even though Surface Hub will only display tiles in columns 0-5, not columns 6 and 7.
- Surface Hub supports a maximum 6 rows (6 1x1 tiles)
- `SecondaryTile`, which is used for links, will open the link in Microsoft Edge.

## Example: Start layout that includes a Microsoft Edge link
This example shows a link to a website and a link to a .pdf file. The secondary tile for Microsoft Edge uses a 150 x 150 pixel icon.
