Windows 10 Kiosk with Edge Chromium
- Jan 15, 2020
The Windows 10 Settings, Accounts, Assigned Access sets Microsoft Edge Legacy as the browser for your kiosk device. When the new version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium based) Stable channel is installed, Microsoft Edge Legacy is hidden and all attempts to launch Microsoft Edge Legacy are redirected to the new version. For more details see Access Microsoft Edge Legacy after installing the new version of Microsoft Edge and Windows updates to support the next version of Microsoft Edge.
The reason you’re seeing the blue screen is because Assigned Access is trying to launch the new version of Microsoft Edge, which is not currently supported in this scenario. To continue using Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode deploy the Microsoft Edge Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience policy, set it to Disabled. The Configure for Windows article has instructions on downloading the Microsoft Edge policy template and setting a policies.
Let me know if you have any further issues or question.
IMorrison at Ignite we have announced the first set of features are enabled for kiosk mode. See here.
You can try them out starting with Microsoft Edge 87.
Would like to understand more about your requirements. Let me know if you want to connect and discuss.
Hello,
I need to deploy single-app kiosk mode with Chromium Edge.
Devices are currently using Windows Education 1903, will Edge 87 work in single-app kiosk mode on latest stable Windows version 20H2 or it is necessary to update to bleeding-edge Windows version?
I really don't want to deploy bleeding-edge dev channel and beta/insider preview channels are still on 20H2.
Thank you.
