Single-App Kiosk Mode | Configuration Details

The Windows Modern Single-App Kiosk Mode profile configuration restricts device users' access to the device by limiting them to a single application specified by the administrator. Device users cannot access other applications or device controls while Single-App Kiosk Mode is active.

Restriction: Only one Kiosk Mode profile configuration may exist on a device.

Note:

Multi-App Kiosk Mode offers a more flexible approach to locking down your devices. You can configure many authorized applications for your user accounts or groups. See Multi-App Kiosk Mode for more details.

Install the application on the device before applying the Kiosk Mode profile configuration. You can apply Single-App Kiosk Mode to a local device account, a domain account, or a Microsoft account. You do this when:


Enable Macros	Enable macros to select the Enrolled User Name as the User Account. Toggle off Enable Macros to add local user or domain user details. Restriction: Macros are only active for directory joined Windows Modern devices.
User Account	Enter the user account for the Kiosk Mode profile application. Kiosk Mode supports local accounts, domain accounts, or Microsoft accounts: If using a local account, enter just the username and no domain. If using a domain account, include the domain with the username. For example, `domain\username`. If using a Microsoft account, enter the complete email. For example, `someone@outlook.com`.
Add Application	Choose between Available Applications and Custom Applications. Note: Windows 11 Desktop and Windows 11 IoT Enterprise devices support only Modern applications.
Application Type	Select the type of application you wish to add. Choose either Modern or Classic as the application type.
Application Name	Select an Application from the drop-down list if adding an Available Application. Specify the application name when adding a Custom Application.
Application Path	[This field is auto populated when adding a Classic Available Application.] Specify the path of your application when adding a Classic Custom Application.
AUMID	[This field is auto populated when adding a Modern Available Application.] Specify the Application User Model Identifier (AUMID) when adding a Modern Custom Application. Tip: Use the Windows Companion for SOTI MobiControl application to find this information.
Edge Kiosk URL	Specify the default web page that loads when the Edge browser starts or restarts. This feature is compatible with Microsoft Edge version 87 and Windows 10 Version 1909 or later.
Microsoft Edge Kiosk	Specify the Microsoft Edge Kiosk mode type. Choose between Public Browsing (InPrivate) and Digital/ Interactive Signage (InPrivate).
Refresh Browser After Idle Time	Specify when the Microsoft Edge browser restarts. The available range is between 0 to 1440 minutes.

Important: Once you assign the profile, you must reboot the devices for the Kiosk Mode profile configuration to take effect. You should also reboot the device when you revoke the profile configuration.
