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.

Thanks! The new Edge is Win32-based and so, Set-AssignedAccess cannot be used to configure it as kiosk app, as that command only works with UWP apps.
To configure Edge as single app kiosk with Assigned Access, you'll have to use WMI Bridge solution: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-mdm-bridge. Look for the Powershell samples linked from that page too.

Hi Everyone! In an effort to ensure that everyone is addressed for their individual needs and questions, please start a new discussion for each separate kiosk mode issue. Thanks!
