Hi CSJackA,
Did you already check the follwing?
- Conditional Access and App Protection Policies — no conflicts or missing scopes
- Cleared Outlook cache/data and reinstalled the app
- All apps (Outlook, Managed Home Screen, Company Portal, OS) are fully updated
- Tested on a non–Managed Home Screen device (to rule out kiosk mode issues)
- Reviewed Azure AD / Entra ID sign-in logs for blocked or failed authentications
- Tried a temporary workaround — e.g., using Outlook Web Access or disabling auto sign-in
We've also checked all of the above. Even if we exit Kiosk mode the Microsoft apps still don't work, they all get stuck in a constant loop of trying to add the users account. Outlook web app works but we need the devices to access Teams as well which doesn't work in the browser of Android devices.
This was all working fine until recently, we've not changed anything in relation to policies.
Hi Emre,
To answer your questions:
- Conditional Access and App Protection Policies — no conflicts or missing scopes:
No issues with it going through the conditional access and app protection policies. - Cleared Outlook cache/data and reinstalled the app:
Complete reinstall of the device and apps doesn't resolve the issue. - All apps (Outlook, Managed Home Screen, Company Portal, OS) are fully updated:
All apps and OS are fully up to date - Tested on a non–Managed Home Screen device (to rule out kiosk mode issues):
This is an issue with the Kiosk mode only - MSAL seems to be the issue - Reviewed Azure AD / Entra ID sign-in logs for blocked or failed authentications:
No failed authentication on the user account, sign-in logs show "Success" - Tried a temporary workaround — e.g., using Outlook Web Access or disabling auto sign-in:
OWA works, however, doesn't resolve the underlying issue with the kiosk mode not signing in the account to the full version of Outlook.
