Create a customized and locked down experience for your shared devices using multi-app kiosk mode, now available in Windows 11 with the May 24, 2023 Windows Configuration Update.
Create streamlined experiences
Multi-app kiosk mode allows an IT admin to pre-select the apps and functionality available to a user to create a tailored and immersive device experience. Ideal for shared devices, multi-app kiosk mode can create different configurations for different users, ensuring they have access to only what is needed to use the device as intended. The locked down configurations present users with the Windows desktop with which they are already familiar, while limiting their access to reduce distractions and potential for inadvertent uses.
Multi-app kiosk accounts leverage the new Windows 11 desktop UI, with only the pre-selected apps available to access. Access to restricted areas through context menus, system tray icons and notification bar are blocked as well.
What's new in Windows 11?
The functionality of multi-app kiosk mode in Windows 11 is the same as it was in Windows 10. The feature no longer leverages the Tablet Mode UI as it did in Windows 10 – it follows the Windows 11 UI principles as would be seen in a personal Windows 11 client device.
Multi-Monitor Support
In Windows 11, multi-app kiosk mode now supports configurations with multiple monitors.
How can I get started?
Currently, multi-app kiosk mode can be configured in Windows 11 via your WMI Bridge provider, or PowerShell.
