Windows 10: Kiosk Mode Configuration on Windows 11 Pro

Hello, I would like assistance with configuring my kiosk account on Windows 11 Pro. Specifically, I want to: Enable a screensaver mode that activates when the kiosk is idle for 2 minutes. During this time, the web browser should display a slideshow of pictures. After 2 minutes of inactivity, have the web browser automatically return to the homepage, ready for the next customer. Additionally, I need help connecting a POS system and a receipt printer to the kiosk. Could you please guide me on how to set this up? Thank you!

Hi Matthias,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while using Kiosk Mode on Windows 10.



Since you are being logged out of Kiosk Mode after every login, I suggest you to refer the article

Troubleshoot kiosk mode issues.



Also, you can try removing and creating the Kiosk account again, follow the steps mentioned below to remove the Kiosk account:

1. Go to Settings >
   Accounts > Family & other people.
   
2. Under Setup a kiosk option click on
   Assigned access.
   
3. Now under Kiosk info click on the
   account name and click on Remove kiosk.
   
4. Now click on Remove.
   

Once the account is removed, refer the article to
Set up a single-app kiosk.



Hope it helps.

Problem with windows 11 kiosk mode three and four finger gestures.

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I understand the problems you're experiencing with Windows 11 kiosk mode. Your issue seems to be a combination of a gesture handling known issue and the limitations of kiosk mode settings.

However, here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows 11 system is up-to-date. Microsoft regularly releases updates to fix known issues and improve system stability.
   
2. Reset Kiosk Mode: Try resetting the kiosk mode setup. Remove the kiosk account, restart the system, and set up the kiosk mode again.
   
3. Try Another Kiosk App: If possible, try using another application in kiosk mode to see if the issue is specific to Microsoft Edge.
   
4. Driver Updates: Ensure that your touchpad drivers are up-to-date. You can do this through the Device Manager.
   

If you're still experiencing the problem after trying these steps, it might be best to report the issue directly to Microsoft.
