Does the new Edge browser work with Kiosk mode?

Ok thanks Alex... one more thing... when Kiosk is running in Beta, does ctrl-alt-del exit it?

Hi Sue, 

I wasn't able to get the kiosk experience up and working via command line in the latest version of Stable today, but it behaved as expected in Beta. Using Stable, the "--edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen" command opened a browser window instead of a fullscreen kiosk. Using the public browsing command also resulted in a new window that was signed in with my existing profile on Stable, where it launched an InPrivate window on Beta. This might explain your results in Stable - the commands will run and launch a Stable tab/window, but the full kiosk experience shouldn't be working in Stable yet. 

As to switching between Stable and Beta, the only difference is in the file path, not in the executable or kiosk type command. 

For me, the path difference looks like this:

Edge Stable - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft*Edge*\Application

Edge Beta - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft*Edge Beta*\Application

Hope that helps!

Hi Alex,

I've been running command prompt on stable version on 2 machines for about a week now and so far so good it seems to be working fine every time I start up... what am I "missing" ? In other words what risk am I taking by deploying in stable Edge?

Thanks

Sue

PS If I switch to Beta - does that mean my command prompt becomes "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft*EdgeBeta*Application*msedgebeta.exe*" --kiosk http://INSERT URL --edgebeta**-kiosk-type-fullscreen

Hi Sue, 

You'll still need to use command prompts in combination with the Beta version for now, as kiosk mode isn't available with the Stable release yet.

Hi Alex,

To be clear... will the kiosk via command prompts work in Stable Edge and if so how do I get back to Stable version from Beta?
