Opção 1
Here's How:
1. If you have not already, you will need to prepare a Start screen layout for export.
A) Create a new user account that you will use to customize the Start screen layout.
B) Sign in to the user account that you created.
C) Customize the Start screen as you want users to see it by using the following techniques:
2. When finished, you'll need to export the Start screen layout as an .xml file. This .xml file is called the Start layout file, and is what's used to specify this default Start screen layout from step 1 for users.
A) Open a command prompt.
B) In the command prompt, copy and paste the command below, press Enter, and close the command prompt when it's finished.
C) You will now have a Default_Start_Screen_Layout.xml file exported to the desktop of this user account. If you like, you can rename this .xml file anything you like without spaces.
D) Move the Default_Start_Screen_Layout.xml file to a location where you would like to use and keep it saved at. For example, the "C:\Users\Public\Documents" folder.
3. Sign in to an administrator account, and open the all users, specific users or groups, or all users except administratorsLocal Group Policy Editor for how you want this policy applied.
4. In the left pane, click/tap on to expand User Configuration, Administrative Templates, and open Start Menu and Taskbar. (see screenshot below)
5. In the right pane of Start Menu and Taskbar, double click/tap on Start Screen Layout to edit it. (see screenshot above)
6. Do step 7 or 8 below for what you would like to do.
7. To No Longer Specify a Start Screen Layout for Users
NOTE: This is the default setting, and will allow users to be able customize their Start screen layout how they like.
A) Select (dot) Disabled or Not Configured, click/tap on OK, and go to step 9 below. (see screenshot below step 8C)
NOTE: Not Configured is the default setting.
8. To Specify a Start Screen Layout for Users
A) If you have Windows 8.1 Enterprise and disable Start Screen Layout policy settings that have been in effect, you must update the Last Modified date on the .xml file before continuing on to step 8B to enable the policy settings again.
B) Select (dot) Enabled. (see screenshot below)
C) In the Start Layout File field under Options, type the full path of the .xml file location from step 2D above, click/tap onOK, and go to step 9 below. (see screenshot below)
9. You can now close the Local Group Policy Editor window if you like.
10. The next time the users sign in, the GPO will import the new Start screen layout.
1. If you have not already, you will need to prepare a Start screen layout for export.
A) Create a new user account that you will use to customize the Start screen layout.
B) Sign in to the user account that you created.
C) Customize the Start screen as you want users to see it by using the following techniques:
Note
Be sure to only have anything pinned to the Start screen that all users have access to. If a user does not have a modern app installed that is pinned to this custom Start screen, then that app will not display for that user.
2. When finished, you'll need to export the Start screen layout as an .xml file. This .xml file is called the Start layout file, and is what's used to specify this default Start screen layout from step 1 for users.
A) Open a command prompt.
B) In the command prompt, copy and paste the command below, press Enter, and close the command prompt when it's finished.
Code:
powershell export-startlayout –path %UserProfile%\Desktop\Default_Start_Screen_Layout.xml -as xml
C) You will now have a Default_Start_Screen_Layout.xml file exported to the desktop of this user account. If you like, you can rename this .xml file anything you like without spaces.
D) Move the Default_Start_Screen_Layout.xml file to a location where you would like to use and keep it saved at. For example, the "C:\Users\Public\Documents" folder.
Note
-path is a required parameter that specifies the path and file name for the export file. You can specify a local path or a UNC path (for example, \\FileServer01\StartLayouts\StartLayoutMarketing.xml).
The file must be accessible on the local computer when a user signs in (the user must have at least Read-only access). If the .xml file is not available, the Start screen layout is not deployed during that session, and the user can make changes to the Start screen.
If you plan to deploy a GPO that customizes Start screen layouts for domain users, store the .xml file in shared network storage that all of the users can access.
-as xml saves the layout in the .xml file format that the Start Screen Layout policy settings require.

For example:

Opção 2
The first thing you have to do is prepare a reference machine that has all the applications installed that you want to pin to the Start layout. To pin a new tile to the Start menu, you first have to find it through Start search. Next, you right-click the tile and select Pin to Start.
Configuring the Start layout in Windows 10
To remove a tile, right-click it and then click Unpin from Start. Of course, you can also arrange the tiles by just dragging them to their position.
After the Start menu has the configuration that you want to deploy, you have to run the following PowerShell command:
1
|
Export-StartLayout -Path C:\tmp\start.xml
|
Exporting the Start menu configuration with Export-StartLayout
This exports the current Start menu configuration to an XML file. Note that the Export-StartLayoutcmdlet in Windows 10 differs from its counterpart in Windows 8/8.1. The new cmdlet no longer offers the -As parameter that allowed you to choose between an XML and a binary format.
In theory, you can modify the XML file in a text editor because its structure is relatively simple. However, I think it is easier to use the Start menu of your reference machine to create the configuration that you want to deploy.
Start menu configuration stored in an XML file
Deploying the Start menu layout via Group Policy ^
Next, you can deploy the settings via Group Policy by specifying the XML file. The policy can be found atUser Configuration > Administrative Templates > Start Menu and Taskbar > Start Screen Layout. The same policy is also available under Computer Configuration.
Start Screen Layout Group Policy
Note that the corresponding policy in Windows 10 is no longer called “Start Screen Layout” but just “Start Layout.” It will be interesting to see how the policy will be named in Windows Server 2016.
Start Layout Group Policy in Windows 10
A downside of this method might be that the Start menu will be locked. That is user can no longer pin or unpin tiles. However, perhaps this is just what you want.
Importing the Start layout from a WIM image ^
Another option is to import the Start layout configuration from a mounted WIM image that you will deploy in your network. For this purpose, you would use the Import-StartLayout cmdlet:
1
|
Import-StartLayout -LayoutPath c:\tmp\start.xml -MountPath $env:SystemDrive\
|
In Windows 8, you would have imported the binary Start screen configuration file. However, because Windows 10 no longer supports this format, you have to work with the XML file.
You can also import the Start layout during an MDT deployment.
