How I can setup a desktop application to run in Kiosk mode under Windows 10?

Question

Thursday, November 28, 2019 3:46 PM

Hello, I want to setup a Windows 10 Kiosk machine to run a desktop Windows app but when accessing the applications list I only find a list of Microsoft apps. Is there a way to add to that list a specific desktop application?

I was trying to use the Windows Configuration Designer also but on the Add applications page, where I specify a .msi package to be installed I got errors (yellow bullet) and I have no clue where to look for that errors.

Hi,

Check the desktop app information in the link below:

Configure kiosks and digital signs on Windows desktop editions

/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-methods

Using Shell Launcher, you can configure a kiosk device that runs a Windows desktop application as the user interface. The application that you specify replaces the default shell (explorer.exe) that usually runs when a user logs on. This type of single-app kiosk does not run above the lockscreen.)

Hi Carl,

thank you very much for your answer. Indeed your advice about using the Shell Launcher worked. I used the powershell script from the documentation page and it worked ok. I successfully configured the machine as a kiosk.
