Hello,
I have come to this thread for some help. I have had some major issues trying to setup kiosk mode on an app that is created by my organization. I have created a .bat file that calls the jar and app opens up. I want to run only this app in kiosk mode and I can't set this up. Please see below what I have tried so far.
Options tried and didn't work
1) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/set-up-a-kiosk-for-windows-10-for-desktop-editions
2) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn449310%28v=winembedded.82%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
I tried to even get IE working through kiosk mode and it didn't work. I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING HERE. I was trying to get IE working first because I was thinking may be once I get IE working I get figure out what's wrong with my app.
After I go through option 1 and apply the package and restart, it doesn't do anything. Its like nothing was applied. There are no changes and it remains the way it was.
After I go through option 2 and tried two ways to run
Set-AssignedAccess -AppName iexplore.exe -UserName Kiosk
I also tried it with full path
Set-AssignedAccess -AppName "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" -UserName Kiosk
Both ways I get errors that the app is invalid.
"Application was not found. Enter either a valid AppName or AUMID"
Please help me!

I found another way to make my computer in kiosk mode. I think it would be beneficial if there was a video showing how Kiosk mode works in WICD. I DID NOT get my Kiosk Mode working through WICD
Another way is basically you create a entry in registry. You can simply put this into a batch file and run it.
Reg ADD "HEKY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION\WINLOGON" /v "Shell" /t REG_SZ /d "c:\windows\system32\myfile.exe
/v "shell" = Key name
/t REG_SZ = type
/d ""c:\windows\system32\myfile.exe" = this is where you have placed you file that you want to run in kiosk mode.

Hi,
According to your description, I think you should use the Windows ADK for Windows 10 1607 version, right?
If yes, there is no Provision kiosk devices mode in there. It only exists in Windows ADK for Windows 10 1703 version.
Thus you should use advanced editor in Windows Configuration Designer, specify the user account and app (by AUMID) in Runtime settings > AssignedAccess > AssignedAccessSettings.
However, that's only for a kiosk device to run a Universal Windows app. For a kiosk device (Windows 10 Enterprise or Education) to run a Classic Windows application, use Shell Launcher to set a custom user interface as the shell.
PowerShell command method you used in option 2 is also applied for Universal Windows app.

I have tried all of these methods and nothing worked for me. It would be beneficial if Microsoft made video showing how kiosk mode works through WICD or mimic what is shown here in the instructions --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/set-up-a-kiosk-for-windows-10-for-desktop-editions
