Thanks Raj_GS  for your replay, I will go with Shell Launcher as we need to use the Edge Chromium. When will be enabled the Edge Chromium for Assigned Access ( so far Edge legacy available only but no more support for Edge Legacy) then the kiosk solution can be changed from Shell Launcher to Assigned Access.

 

As before I am not used the Shell Launcher, can you please let me know if any GPOs can be applied or not when the device started with a custom shell ?

Thanks.

Zoltan_GYORGY ,

 

Its great to hear that you'll be able to use the new Edge kiosk with Shell Launcher or Assigned Access for your needs! 🙂

 

To try the new Edge kiosk with Assigned Access:

  1. Use a Windows 10 (Pro, Enterprise, and Education according to the documentation here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-single-app) build with the latest updates.
  2. Install the new Edge Stable, Beta or Dev channel (these should install by default at system level) 
  3. Then follow the instructions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode#configure-using-windows-settings

 

With Shell Launcher, Edge GPOs should work (true for Assigned Access too). I believe Windows GPOs may work for Shell Launcher (have not tried this though)
