Edge problem with full screen mode (a.k.a) --kiosk mode
From Edge Version 79.0.309.68 All the way to Version 81.0.396.0 canary, they have this problem. when I use this switch/command on the target of Edge shortcut: "--kiosk" (without quotes) I do get...
HotCakeX This seems like a known issue, as Kiosk Mode isn't supported on the new Edge yet. There are more details from the Enterprise team here:

- Thank you, but looks like this article was recently posted as Brian Altman also mentioned:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-kiosk-mode
that says Edge (Chromium) supports --kiosk
"You can launch Microsoft Edge in kiosk mode using the “--kiosk” command line parameter. This opens the browser in full screen with the full screen keyboard shortcut disabled (F11). To accomplish this, create a shortcut with the target set to:
"<local path>\msedge.exe" --kiosk http://bing.com"
but the problem is that pressing F11, F12, ESC etc do not work and they don't exit the browser from full screen mode. I've tried now again on latest canary Version 81.0.400.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
