Does the new Edge browser work with Kiosk mode?

Hi Alex, are you still around for guidance?

We had 70+ training desktops/laptops that were configured with LEgacy Edge. Our new parent company pushed an update to our full landscape via SCCM, which the 70+computer assets got updated to the New Edge Chromium. Now when we attempt to start each computer, they are all blue screened. Not the BSOD but blue screened, like the kiosk mode is only presenting a blue screen. If you are someone from you team is around, can you please assist us in pointing us in the correct direction on how to resolve?

Thank you kindly

Phillip

Hi all,

Untill last week (early july 21), on about forty of our clients we ran a edge legacy based kiosk mode that we set up with the powershell command "Set-AssignedAccess -AppUserModelId Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge -UserName "kioskuser""

Unfortunately, after patching those clients, CU for Windows removed edge legacy and installed edge chromium instead. The blue screen now appeared when starting those kiosk clients.

We cleared assigned access with "Clear-AssignedAccess" and tried to set up kiosk with the powershell command "Set-AssignedAccess -AppUserModelId MSEdge -UserName "kioskuser"" (we changed the AUMID to the AUMID for Edge Chr. we found with the command Get-StartApps).

Bad news: it fails with error "New-CimInstance : One or more parameter values passed to the method were invalid....."

Our Windows Version is 20H2 (OS Build 19042.985), Edge Version is Edge Stable Ver. 91.0.864.64

Can anyone tell me wether theres a way to set up kiosk with Edge Chromium with Powershell command Set-AssignedAccess? And without Beta or Insider Preview Software, as we den't want to run this kind of software in production environments?

At the moment the only way to set up kiosk mode successfully is to do this manually via settings -> accounts -> other users -> Set up a kiosk, as we don't yet use InTune or whatever.

Thank you in advance

Norbert

I am having the same issue with the updated edge browser. When our kiosk restarts it comes up with a black screen. If I alt tab I can see the browser page and select it to bring it to the foreground. The issue is this is at a remote site and a touch screen and I have to remote into the kiosk whenever I'm notified. Which seems to be more frequent lately.

Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

This kiosk ran for years without any problems before the latest update.

Hey there Andrew, 

We're continuing to roll out features for kiosk mode with every major release to the browser, but it is still the preview version. We've added tables to the kiosk mode documentation indicating what features have already rolled out and what features are coming up, as well as what policies are available.

Hi JamesonB87, 

No updates on the full release at this time. You can keep an eye on the Roadmap at the bottom of the kiosk documentation for updates when timelines are established, but we're still working on the feature at this time - Configure Microsoft Edge kiosk mode | Microsoft Docs
