Configure Surface Hub Start menu

The January 17, 2018 update to Windows 10 (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:

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 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. There are a few differences between Start layout on a deskop and a Surface Hub.

When you have your Start menu defined in a Start layout XML, create an MDM policy to apply the 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.

Note

The default value for ForegroundText is light; you don't need to include ForegroundText in your XML unless you're changing the value to dark.
