Does the new Edge browser work with Kiosk mode?

I set up loaner devices to just use the browser.  I recently updated them to Windows10-2004 and installed the new Edge browser. I just get a blank blue screen when I try to sign in with kiosk mode after setting it up to open with Edge (the Icon that I am able to select still looks like the old one).  Does anyone know if I need to go back to the old OS or the old Edge?

    The surf game link will appear when not connected to the internet, much like your screenshot. The kiosk machine will need to stay connected to the internet to continue displaying the desired content in the browser. 

    As for the release, the command prompt will release ahead of the full settings/assigned access experience.

    Additional features and support will be added as kiosk mode evolves, so I encourage you to provide feedback within the browser (via Microsoft Edge's "…" menu in the top right > Help and feedback > Send feedback) as you get the chance to try the kiosk mode features. The team reviews this feedback and it helps determine features folks want or need so it's a great idea to provide feedback to the product team there. 

    I hope you enjoy the kiosk mode features that are coming up, and as always let me know if you have any questions! =)

    Is that surf game link going to appear if/when kiosk goes offline? I hope not as it does not look very professional, and the only way I could get kiosk to work at all was to set up Win10Pro as a personal computer not a business. (The business setup does not allow one to remove the password login page).

    Also, as for the Kiosk release on Stable version - what is the plan? Will it be released with command prompt first and then settings/assigned access or straight to settings/assigned access. 

    Thanks for all your help :)

    That's the link to the Surf game, you can learn more about it here: Introducing the new surf game in Microsoft Edge

    Unfortunately the only way to disable it is with Enterprise group policy settings, and it looks like the button will still show but the page will be blocked on arrival.

    Thank you! One odd thing... If the intenet connection is lost the screen asks if I want to play a game while I wait. Any way to remove that?.

    Per the doc, F11 should exit full screen (while in full screen mode). 

    The Windows key also opens the Start menu even in full screen. 

    Additional lockdown functions are planned in the future!
