Default User Start Screen

I have basically followed the tutorial here (using PowerShell of course):

http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2013/10/23/modify-the-windows-8-1-start-screen-during-osd-in-configmgr-2012/

Steps:

  1. Deploy OS
  2. Configure the Start Screen as you want on the default admin account
  3. Export the config in a bin file using the command in elevated PowerShell (make sure that Temp folder exists): Export-StartLayout -As Bin -Path C:\Temp\appsFolderLayout.bin
  4. Using a package or any other deployment method of your choice copy this bin to default user profile during OSD. Command line example: 
xcopy appsFolderLayout.bin "%SystemDrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows" /Q /Y
