CTRL+N blocked (open a new window) not working for Edge kiosk --public browsing

As tested with Public-Browsing CTRL+T blocked (open new tab) works ok but CTRL+N blocked (open a new window) does not work. Keyboard shortcut CTRL+N still open new page. Any workaround suggestion/s. I tried in both Edge version 89.0.774.34 (Official build) beta (64-bit) and version 88.0.705.74 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.804).

    Hi,
    when do you mean by "blocked" ?

    I'm trying on Edge stable Version 88.0.705.74 (Official build) (64-bit)
    Windows 10 latest version,

    I can press Ctrl + N to open new Edge window,

    and press Ctrl + T to open new tab in the active Edge window,

    also press Ctrl + W to close Edge tabs/windows.

      HotCakeX new tab and new page in Kiosk mode --public browsing should get blocked as per this doc:

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode

      CTRL+T blocking works in --public browsing kiosk mode 

      Hope this clarifies the issue more.

      Thnx.

        Alright, the Kiosk team let me know some more details on this feature. We have only blocked Ctrl+N in the single app mode - and that document does not state this distinction clearly (we're working to update that to clarify.) Also, from the screenshot, Ctrl+T is not blocked either (and that is the expected behavior). Hitting Ctrl+T opens a new tab - it just blocks the new tab page content from loading in Kiosk mode.

        Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!
