      <title>[Solved] How to Set Up Kiosk Mode in Windows 11</title>

      <guid>https://dev.to/mitchelltheguy/solved-how-to-set-up-kiosk-mode-in-windows-11-170e</guid>
      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What Is Windows Kiosk Mode &amp;amp; Why Use It in 2025?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Windows kiosk mode is a Windows feature that locks a PC into a limited, task-specific experience. Instead of the normal desktop, users see only the chosen app(s), preventing any accidental or intentional system changes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1.1 Single-app vs. multi-app kiosk
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Single-app means the user sees only one program from the moment the computer starts. There is no desktop, no Start menu, no taskbar, and no way to open File Explorer or a browser. It is perfect for ticket-printing stations, library catalog PCs, or digital signs that loop a PowerPoint.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Multi-app gives the user a small, custom “allowed” list. You can enable, say, Edge, the camera, and a payment portal, but everything else stays hidden. Multi-app is handy when the front-desk staff need two or three tools, yet you still want to block Solitaire, Settings, or the command prompt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
  
  
  1.2 Key benefits for IT admins &amp;amp; SMBs
&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Benefit 1: Stop malware by hiding Windows entirely
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When the desktop never loads, users can’t open File Explorer, run unknown files, or plug in infected USB drives. Only the app you choose can run, so the attack surface stays tiny.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Benefit 2: Reuse old PCs and skip new hardware costs
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Any Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM and Windows 10/11 Pro turns into a self-service terminal in minutes. No thin clients, no extra licenses, no new boxes to buy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Benefit 3: Deploy one or one hundred kiosks in under an hour
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Single PC: five clicks in Settings. Whole fleet: push one XML profile from Intune or PowerShell. Machines pick it up at next check-in and configure themselves.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Benefit 4: Pass compliance audits with a single line
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The device runs only the locked-down app you allow, so PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or CIPA auditors see minimal risk and even less paperwork.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;
  
  
  Benefit 5: Cut help-desk tickets by removing the things users break
&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No Start menu, no right-click, no Control Panel. If users can’t see it, they can’t break it, and your team stops fielding “I deleted the taskbar” calls.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Method 1 – Built-in Assigned Access (Free but only Single-App Kiosk Mode)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1.&lt;/strong&gt; Open the Start menu and go to Settings &amp;gt; Accounts &amp;gt; Other users&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F5iqkx8qizw7riwgg9xt7.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F5iqkx8qizw7riwgg9xt7.png" alt=" " width="554" height="337"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2.&lt;/strong&gt; Click ‘Add other uses’ to add account.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbzv7pkfyw38j717g568a.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fbzv7pkfyw38j717g568a.png" alt=" " width="554" height="402"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3.&lt;/strong&gt; After the account is created, scroll down and set up a kiosk&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 4.&lt;/strong&gt; Choose the account you just created, then select the UWP app you want to run in kiosk mode (e.g., Microsoft Edge).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Note: A UWP app is a modern Windows program you download from the Microsoft Store: it runs safely inside its own sandbox, works on PCs, tablets, and Xbox, and never needs an .exe installer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F18ldif59otvnl6kxfecq.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F18ldif59otvnl6kxfecq.png" alt=" " width="529" height="719"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 5.&lt;/strong&gt; Log out of your current account.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Step 6.&lt;/strong&gt; Log in with the kiosk account. Windows will automatically open the selected app in full-screen kiosk mode.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Method 2 – Set Up Kiosk Mode with MDM Solution
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.airdroid.com/business/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;AirDroid Business&lt;/a&gt; is a strong MDM solution that lets you turn any Windows 10/11 PC into a kiosk from a browser. Install a lightweight desktop agent on each device, then use the web console to select the allowed apps or websites and push the policy. After a reboot the machine boots into either single-app kiosk or multi-app kiosk mode easily. Retail POS stations, factory work-cells, hotel business centers and school test labs all rely on it to give guests, operators or students a locked-down experience while IT manages everything remotely.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 1.&lt;/strong&gt; Sign Up AirDroid Account&lt;br&gt;
AirDroid Business provides &lt;a href="https://www.airdroid.com/mobile-device-management-free-trial/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;14-day free trial&lt;/a&gt;, you can sign up an AirDroid Business account via the free trial form.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 2.&lt;/strong&gt; Go to the dashboard&lt;br&gt;
Go to the AirDroid Business MDM dashboard, choose "Policy &amp;amp; kiosk" &amp;gt; "+Create Config File" &amp;gt; "Windows Policy".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Foc9y4eymg6lwt9lhknwn.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Foc9y4eymg6lwt9lhknwn.png" alt=" " width="554" height="272"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F34wy6djw21i1r6052tgv.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F34wy6djw21i1r6052tgv.png" alt=" " width="554" height="248"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Step 3.&lt;/strong&gt; Set up Kiosk Mode&lt;br&gt;
Open "Kiosk," choose single-app or multi-app mode, select the app(s) to lock down, and choose the user account for this setting. Then, apply the configuration file to your target Windows devices to complete the kiosk restriction.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkyn148fwcyljap61bv8v.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fkyn148fwcyljap61bv8v.png" alt=" " width="554" height="225"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwd96h2dilum9a28uirwa.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fwd96h2dilum9a28uirwa.png" alt=" " width="554" height="291"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With these 2 proven methods, you can set up Windows Kiosk easily and make sure your Windows devices are used for specific purpose.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Part 1: Why Lock an Android Tablet?
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Locking an Android tablet to a specific app is an increasingly popular practice, especially in corporate or commercial settings. This approach, known as 'kiosk mode', ensures that the device serves a single purpose efficiently. For instance, in retail environments, tablets are often locked to a point-of-sale app to streamline transactions and minimize distractions for employees.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In educational settings, locking tablets to educational software can enhance learning by reducing access to non-educational content. Similarly, in healthcare, tablets locked to patient management apps can ensure that sensitive data is not exposed to unauthorized apps or users. Overall, locking a tablet to a specific app can improve productivity, enhance security, and reduce misuse by restricting access to only the necessary applications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Kiosk software is a specialized application designed to lock down a device (like a tablet, smartphone, or computer) into a single-purpose mode, preventing users from accessing other applications or system settings. It transforms standard devices into dedicated self-service terminals. Kiosk software plays a crucial role across various industries, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, public services, and education, enabling a wide range of self-service functions.&lt;/p&gt;
