microsoft edge chromium kiosk mode windows 10

So anyone can open any desired page, (not very pleasant on public access compurers) We tried almost everything. After last Edge update a new tab of Edge is opened with highest displey priority over everything else even on top of sitekiosk. We did get edge to stop loading in the admin user environment but the kiosk mode must behave differently. We did try several options to prevent it from loading which mainly included MS edge registry keys to disable auto startup, running in the background and not starting apps that were already started before reboot. It seems like it’s only a recent bug in the latest version of edge. This approach has resolved the issue for now.

We have 20+ kiosks (SiteKiosk 9.7 is our oldest version) and found this issue on all the machines with that latest Edge (Chromium) update.Ī solution from one of our IT network guys was to uninstall Edge and add a startup script so Edge will not be reinstalled on the machine. I logged in as the local administrator and under Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Require sign. In the end, the Microsoft link with the last post fixed it. So I tried all the suggested settings changes. Look for Edge inside the folder then delete it. Scroll all the way down and turn off 'Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restart,' If updating SiteKiosk is not an option right now, then you can check any of these options to prevent the Edge from starting automatically: You can manually enter Tile: '*icrosoft Edg*' Class: 'Chrome_WidgetWin_1' With SiteKiosk we added missing entry for Edge Chromium to the Windows and Dialogs Management: Generally, SiteKiosk does block the Edge Browser but in older versions (like ) it does only apply to older Edge versions (before Microsoft has changed the Browser engine to Chromium). SiteKiosk 9.7 is out of support, however any information discussed will be based on. Anyone can browse freely outside of secure browser even to restricted pages. Same here! Its a huge security problem for us.
