Configure Surface Hub Start menu
Article • 04/19/2023
Surface Hub ships with a default Start menu that admins can modify with specific apps
to meet organizational requirements. For example, you can
install Progressive Web Apps
and include them in the Start menu for quick user access at the start of every Hub
session.
The Surface Hub Start menu is rendered from a Start layout XML file that includes App
ID values (AppUserModelID) for default applications such as Microsoft PowerPoint,
Word, and Excel. You can add new tiles or replace the default values with the
AppUserModelID associated with the apps you wish to display.
As described below , use
a mobile device management (MDM) provider such as Microsoft Intune to deploy a
Start layout device policy containing your modified Start layout XML. To learn more,
refer to
Manage Surface Hub with an MDM provider .
There are a few key differences between Start menu customization for Surface Hub and
a Windows 10 desktop:
You cannot use the Start layout XML to configure the taskbar or the Welcome
screen for Surface Hub.
The Start layout policy should be assigned only to devices, not users.
The OMA-URI setting to use in the policy is
./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Start/StartLayout
DesktopApplicationTile is only supported for Edge and Microsoft Teams. All other
Win32 apps are blocked by Code Integrity policy
