Here is technet answer I found of someone trying to achieve the same thing.

In case the link ever goes down, here is the answer in question:

You can certainly do this with PowerShell! You need to dive into the object model a little bit to accomplish this. Please keep in mind that the Welcome page is a relative link to your site.

Say your current site collection welcome page is http://yoursitecollection/Pages/Home.aspx and you want to change it to http://yoursitecollection/Pages/NewWelcomePage.aspx.

$assignment = Start-SPAssignment

$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://yoursitecollectionurl" AssignmentCollection $assignment

$rootFolder = $web.RootFolder

$rootFolder.WelcomePage = "Pages/NewWelcomePage.aspx"

$rootFolder.Update()

Stop-SPAssignment $assignment

Another note - if there are spaces in your .aspx page file name, then simply type spaces (i.e. you don't need to include the url encoded %20 for spaces). For example you could change the line above to:

$rootFolder.WelcomePage = "Pages/New Welcome Page.aspx"

I hope this helps,

Answer 2

Try the following:

• Get welcome page from document set
• Get webpart manager from welcome page
• Get the document list Webpart
• Set the view on the Webpart

No idea, how you can change the default on the document set configuration

Answer 3

that is only doable in sharepoint on premises, here is an explanation for programmatically setting up the document set default view on a list

=> If you want a workaround for sharepoint online, please use this powershell docset welcomepage view setter and follow this example
