I am building a kiosk device (Win10 1803 Enterprise) using Shell Launcher to make Internet Explorer running in kiosk mode the shell. When the device restarts with IE running, a 2nd instance of IE not in kiosk mode starts when logging in again. It simply attempts to go to the home page.
I have tried to disable ARSO but it doesn't work. I have added
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn to the registry as a DWORD with a value of 1.
Still, I get that 2nd instance of IE.
If I leave the task manager running when I reboot, it too restarts at next logon.
This happens to all users who log onto the device and it doesn't matter if the shell is explorer.exe or eshell.exe.
Is there another way I should be disabling ARSO?

EDIT: the kiosk is set to autologon a service account. I am trying to prevent that 2nd instance of IE from opening.

Your registry key is correct, try the GPO method.
Sign-in and lock last interactive user automatically after a restart
If you disable this policy setting, the device does not configure automatic sign in. The user's lock screen apps are not restarted after the system restarts.
Also, navigate to Computer Configuration ->Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Logon Options
Disable Sign-in last interactive user automatically after a system-initiated restart

Thanks.
I implemented that GPO but that didn't solve the problem.

I found articles saying to modify the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\UserARSO\usersid>
DWORD "OptOut" - value=1
This did not work either.

Hi John,
I have the same problem. I have disabled the 'DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn' (value 1) policy but when Windows restart from a logged user the system is always trying to logon the previous logged user :(
Did you found a solution or a workarround to this Windows bug ?

No, I never found a solution. Luckily that project never went forward. We are now moving to 1909 so perhaps the behavior is different.
