Windows 10 Kiosk with Edge Chromium
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.
I'm trying to use assigned access (user can use only browser and can't escape with ALT+F4).
It is no problem to update up to 20H2, but as you said, necessary changes are not in any stable version yet, so I need to wait. Please notify us when changes will be down-ported.
Also I forgot to mention our devices use Windows 10 in S mode, but that shouldn't be problem, right?
February "C" preview release is available for 1909, so I gave it a try. Assigned access works on stable Edge Chromium 88 very well. User can use address bar and multiple tabs, but cannot access settings and addons. User can only access Downloads folder and this folder gets cleaned after session. This is enough for me.
