Does the new Edge browser work with Kiosk mode?

Sorry for any confusion! Version 86.0.622.63 is up to date for the Stable channel.  Kiosk mode is not yet available in the Stable channel, but will be available starting with version 87, which is targeted for release later this month. 

If you want to get started with kiosk mode today, you will need to download the Beta Channel from our Microsoft Edge Insiders page. The Beta channel is the most stable Microsoft Edge preview experience.

Hope this helps clear up any confusion, but please let me know if you have any more questions!

Hi again,

When I try to update Edge it says version 86.0.622.63 IS up to date. Why doesn't it go to version 87?

Thanks for the responses!

Kiosk mode is enabled for Microsoft Edge versions 87 and up. Kiosk mode is currently available on our Insiders Beta channel and is planned for release to our Stable channel (the default channel and the one you're using based on your version number) later this month. You can check for updates to the release schedule here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-release-schedule

Also, check out this doc for some command line options and information on Assigned Access, which is currently only available in the Dev Channel: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode#use-kiosk-mode-features

If you're still seeing that zooming issue after updating to version 87, let us know!

Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

Thanks for your quick response... Here are my replies

1. Edge is version # 86.0.622.63
2. I don't think the browser matters Edge or Legacy Edge or does it? This is brand new Windows install on a brand new computer so I don't know what to choose.
3. I set up kiosk mode with a command line in autostart (see #6)
4. I thought I had set up assigned access when I tried to use the kiosk "wizard" but gave up when all I got was a  blue screen.
5. The OS is Windows 10 Pro 20H2 version
6. The command on autostart is "C:\program files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Applicati http://nameofurl
7. The log-in prompt issue was solved by uninstalling windows then reinstalling as personal computer, which allowed me to disable the log-in prompt setting.

Another issue I noticed is that my url playing via start up command will suddenly magnify on the screen display, so that only part of the page is visible. It did this when I checked edge://settings too.... suddenly the page was "zoomed in" huge.

Hi Sue_552, thanks for reaching out! The blue screen might indicate that you installed the new Microsoft Edge on the Stable channel and it replaced your legacy version of Microsoft Edge.

For the new Microsoft Edge kiosk mode configuration please refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode

Note: This applies to new Microsoft Edge versions 87 and up.  You can download Microsoft Edge Insider builds from the Microsoft Edge Insider Channels page.

I'd love to work with you to help set up your kiosk. If downloading and trying one of the Insider channels doesn't resolve this issue, could you provide the following information:

1. Can you provide your version number (edge://settings/help)?
2. What browser do you use or intend to use? New Microsoft Edge or Legacy Microsoft Edge?
3. How did you set kiosk mode up?
4. Are you using Assigned Access?
5. What is your operating system?
6. What command are you using when starting up via command line? (ensure this doesn't contain personal information)
7. Where are you seeing the log-in prompt? Is your application using single-sign-on (SSO)?

Thanks again for reaching out and let us know if you have any other questions about kiosk mode! -Alex
