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.
ShipUPride thank you for trying out kiosk mode.
Have you checked the documentation we have for https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode
From what you are describing "Edge is shown with the old logo in the attended set up" (kiosk mode assigned access?) tells me that is actually old Edge and:
1. Either you are not running the Windows Insiders Preview mentioned in the documentation. To make it work check the step-by-step https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode#configure-using-windows-settings.
2. You are running Edge Canary that was installed at a system level. To make it work install Edge Dev, Beta 87.
Assigned access kiosk mode has been enabled at this moment on the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview, version 20215 or higher. We are working on getting this available to the previous Windows 10 versions, but targeting to be available early next year.
You can try Microsoft Edge kiosk mode in a non assigned on any supported Windows 10 machine via command lines starting with version 87: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode#use-kiosk-mode-features
Let me know if that helps or not. More than happy to assist further.
