Configure Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise on Surface Hub 2S

After migrating to Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise, you can configure apps and settings to ensure the best experience using this personalized large screen touch and pen computer.

When performing these steps, you might find it helpful to use a wired or wireless keyboard and mouse.

Configure system settings

  1. Sign in with an account that has local administrator privileges on the device.

  2. Rename the device using a friendly name, for example, username-SHub-Desktop.

  3. Select Start > Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings and turn Sync settings off.

    • The settings used here are intended to enable the best large-screen touch experience, and therefore you might not want to sync other devices.
  4. Restart the device.

Enable the touch keyboard and touchpad

  1. Select Start > Settings > Devices > Typing and turn on Show the touch keyboard when not in tablet mode and there's no keyboard attached.

  2. Tap and hold or right-click the taskbar and select the Show touch keyboard button and Show touchpad button.

    • The touch keyboard is helpful for direct user input, and the virtual touchpad helps with precise selections, hovering screen tips, or as an alternative to tap and hold for right-click.

    • See the following example.

      Screenshot of Touch settings.

  3. Configure the touch keyboard to QWERTY and floating.

    • To show the touch keyboard, select the Keyboard icon on the taskbar.

    • To open keyboard settings on the touch keyboard, select the Keyboard icon in the upper left corner.

    • To enable QWERTY, select the next-to-last keyboard type on the top row.

    • To enable floating, select the last option on the second row. This is helpful on a large screen. See the following examples.

  2. Select on the Sync button on the top of the SharePoint ribbon.

  3. Select on Open on the popup This site is trying to open Microsoft OneDrive.

  4. Verify that the SharePoint files are synchronizing to your local drive by selecting the OneDrive icon at the bottom right of the taskbar.

  5. Verify the configuration is set to keep the files online and download the files only as you use them:

    1. Open file explorer.

    2. Navigate to and right-click your SharePoint name; for example, Contoso \ <SharePoint Document Folder Name>.

    3. Select Free up space.

    4. The Status column displays the status of files and folders. For more information, see Sync SharePoint files with the OneDrive sync client.

  6. Teams Channel files are stored in SharePoint sites, with the same SharePoint document functionality, including version history and synchronizing to your local desktop devices. To sync Teams Channel files:

    1. Navigate to the Teams Channel of interest and select the Files tab at the top. Then select Sync. The files are visible in File Explorer at Desktop \ Contoso \ <name of the Teams Channel>.

    2. Use the same procedure you used for synchronizing SharePoint sites to keep the files in the cloud and only download them when you use them, by tap and hold or right-click in File Explorer on the Teams Channel name, and then selecting Free up space.

You can mount the camera on the top or either side of the device. Mount the camera in a position to optimize the camera angle if you're using the Hub with a desktop stand instead of a cart, or are near the Hub. The camera doesn't autorotate, so you need to have a 2-mm hex key to manually rotate the camera.

For more information on how to side-mount the camera and rotate the camera manually, see Surface Hub 2S camera lens orientation.

Windows Hello configuration

Surface Hub 2S running Windows 10/11 Pro or Enterprise allows the full suite of Win32 desktop applications and biometric Windows Hello options. The Surface Hub Fingerprint Reader accessory can be plugged into any USB-C port on the device.

Power Management: Screen saver

  1. Search for Lock Screen and open Lock screen settings.

  2. Configure Screen timeout settings and Screen saver settings to your preference. Recommended default values are:

    • Screen saver to (None) or a screen saver of your choice.
    • Wait time to 15 minutes.
    • On resume, display logon screen.

Power Management: Group Policy

Before performing the following procedure, check with your IT department for approval to exclude a Surface Hub 2S device from global power management policy. Some power management settings can disable the presence detection function.
