Hi All,

You can configure the Managed Home Screen from the Intune console.
Go to Client Apps->App Configuration Policies->
Add a new policy, Use the Configuration Designer of JSON scripting and you will see all the available options as shown in the attachment.
Some really useful settings here.
After saving the policy. Assign it to the same dynamic group that the devices are added to automatically when you first created the Kiosk Enrolment Profile.
Use this same method for all your apps. Not all apps will offer the same level of control/configuration; but many do. Chrome is a good example. Locking down options is very easy using the Configuration Designer. You can then export the JSON script.
Hope that helps.
