Creating Default Application and Windows Settings for Your AppStream 2.0 Users

Application customizations and Windows settings that are saved to the Windows user profile folder or the user registry hive can be set as defaults. When you save the default settings by using the Template User in Image Assistant, AppStream 2.0 replaces the Windows default user profile with the profile that you configure. The Windows default user profile is then used to create the initial settings for users in the fleet instance. If the application or Windows settings that you configure don't work in the fleet, confirm that they are saved in the Windows user profile. For more information, see Step 3: Create Default Application and Windows Settings in Tutorial: Create a Custom AppStream 2.0 Image by Using the AppStream 2.0 Console.

Default settings that you can create and configure include:

  • Application preferences, including a browser home page, toolbar customizations, and security settings.

  • Application data settings, including browser bookmarks and connection profiles.

  • Windows experience settings, including displaying file name extensions and hidden folders.

Additionally, you can modify or disable Internet Explorer security settings, such as Enhanced Security Configuration (ESC). For more information, see Disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration in Amazon AppStream 2.0.
