Full Screen PDF Issue when in single-app Windows Kiosk mode

Hello,

 

When Microsoft Edge is in Kiosk mode via a single-app Windows kiosk and you open a PDF and enter full screen mode (see screenshot), there is no way to get back out. ESC key does not work and the grey "X" that show up when you hover over the top middle in a normal Edge session is not present. Also tried F11 and some other combinations with no luck. There seems to be no way to back out or view the Edge toolbar again until the Kiosk session ends.

        No, unfortunately. It is a bug that needs to be fixed.

    MattC900 I know this is an older thread and someone may have found a fix already, but I just tested this on our public browsing kiosks, and it looks like the issue is somewhat resolved. There's no X button still, but hitting the "Esc" button while in Edge's full screen PDF viewer does close the viewer.
