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.

We are also looking into this maybe being a solution for our kiosk.

Currently we are using a Kiosk Manager application partnered with SCCM to manage/deploy our two kiosks. (HR and Training)

Some parameters that we want to establish/build off of:

- Machine Auto Sign on (Domain Kiosk Account)

- Auto launch Edge Browser "InPrivate" to a "Landing Page" (page provides web link for users to access, kiosk dependent)

- Currently app uses a shell to only allow selected browser to open

- Close/Relaunch browser on idle (kiosk dependent)

- Limits browser functions. (Remove Favorites, access to settings, etc...)

- Whitelist beyond domain, down to certain paths.

Example: we can only WL "domain.com", Goal is to WL "domain.com/Training, domain.com/HR, etc..." depending on kiosk

- Limit users from logging out of kiosk account via CTRL+ATL+DEL, while still allowing local techs access into machine for maintenance.

- Allow in browser view/print of PDFs (Edge C seems to have an issue handling PDFs currently)

If I have seen Edge Kiosk setting when we started implementing InTune, so I am eager to see if Edge Chromium Kiosk mode will fit our needs.
