Scaffold Config

The scaffold configuration controls how Windows systems are configured for exhibit and kiosk environments. It provides extensive customization options for system settings, application installation, startup behaviors, and Windows optimizations.

When you run the scaffold process, you'll be presented with an option to edit the default config before it's applied.
