Edge Crashes in Kiosk Mode for Vend
When edge is set to run in kiosk mode with a register I use called vend, it crashes when it goes to print.
I have it setup to bypass the print dialog box using the UseSystemPrintDialog registry key. When the Registry key is set to 1, the browser doesn't crash and it prints but it is a 2 step process. Here are the error logs and error I get in the browser. It has to do with the recent edge update.
Hi there,
It sounds like you're encountering a tricky issue with Edge in kiosk mode, especially regarding the print functionality with Vend. Since the problem seems to correlate with the recent Edge update and the UseSystemPrintDialog registry setting, you might consider a couple of steps to troubleshoot or find a workaround:
Check for Updates: Ensure both Edge and Vend are running on their latest versions. Sometimes patches are released quickly after major updates to address these kinds of issues.
Alternative Browsers: While you're working out the kiosk mode issue with Edge, you might try a different browser that supports kiosk mode to see if it handles printing from Vend more smoothly.
Registry Adjustments: If setting UseSystemPrintDialog to 1 helps but adds steps, you could explore other registry tweaks that might provide a balance between functionality and user experience.
Additionally, if your setup involves frequently handling transactions and you need a reliable, efficient system, looking into contactless vending machines might provide a more streamlined and modern solution that could reduce the dependency on such specific configurations.
Hope this helps, and good luck with sorting out the kiosk mode issue!
