     I've found out what was causing this issue.

    Problem was in Windows 10 security baseline profile.

    It was assigned to all devices and kiosk group wasn’t among excluded groups.

    Check your security baseline profiles, maybe there lies solution...

Hi mivanovic945,

 

As ErReddy says when the EAS reg key is present on the device, autologon will be turned off. The problem is that if you delete it manually and then re-enable autologon, the EAS key will be added again and autologon will be turned off once the device syncs with MEM.

 

To solve this we had to create our own service which searches for this key, if it exists deletes it and re-enables autologon.

    Hi - did you ever figure this out? We are facing same problem. We are about to go same route and have something check for and delete those keys whenever they exist, but wondering if you got to the bottom of it? We have cases open to MS at the moment, as we are experiencing this issue with Win10 Kiosks and Teams Room Systems as well.

        We're having this issue now. We haven't got any security baselines deployed, really not sure what the issue is.

      Josh Hammond We also have open ticket at MS regarding this. It's almost same issue.

      I've tested with MS support various scenarios and we found out that issue is with Autopilot.

      I created one service user, assign proper license, added it to deployment group and tested if login from offline installation would create proper kiosk user and autologin work.

      After signing in with service user everything worked perfectly.

      Kiosk user was created and I had no problem with autologin.

      I've setup 6 mini PC's this way and I didn't have any problems.

      Point is - we narrow it down to Autopilot problem.

      We will investigate further, but that's all for now.
