Question

force Edge to run in full-screen Kiosk Mode

Sharma Nikhil 80

We want to use Assigned Access to build a public information terminal that runs Microsoft Edge locked down to a single corporate web portal. How do we specify the exact command line switches inside the kiosk configuration XML to force Edge to run in full-screen Kiosk Mode, disabling address bar modification and private browsing?

Hi Sharma

Assigned Access plus Edge kiosk mode is the way to go for a locked‑down public terminal. In the kiosk configuration XML, you can specify the exact command line switches under the <Application> element. For Microsoft Edge, the key switches are --kiosk (to force full‑screen kiosk mode), --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen (to disable the address bar and navigation controls), and --no-first-run (so users don’t get setup prompts). If you want to block private browsing, add --disable-private-browsing. The XML basically points to msedge.exe and then lists those arguments in the <Parameters> field.

Once that’s in place, the terminal boots straight into Edge, full screen, locked to your corporate portal, with no way for users to wander off into other sites or settings. Best practice is to test the XML on a single device first, confirm the switches behave as expected, and then roll it out via Intune or provisioning packages. That way you avoid surprises in production.
