Microsoft Edge kiosk mode

We used to see some of the AIO devices at the Bank that running on Windows platform to allow their customer to browse the Bank's Internet Banking homepage, right?

However, besides browsing the Bank's Internet Banking homepage, their customer also have access to play around inside the Windows such as opening Folder or any other applications without any special restriction.

Recently on Windows 10 October 2018 Update, Microsoft added the capability to use Microsoft Edge as a kiosk using assigned access where with assigned access, user can create a tailored browsing experience locking down a Windows 10 device to only run as a single-app or multi-app kiosk and also access restricts a local standard user account. In the other word, user only has access to one or more Windows app, such as Microsoft Edge in kiosk mode.

Based on what Microsoft have shared, the public browsing kiosk types run Microsoft Edge InPrivate mode to protect user data with a browsing experience designed for public kiosks, same concept like when you use Internet Explorer InPrivate mode or Google Chrome Incognito mode. Microsoft Edge kiosk mode also has a built-in timer to help keep data safe in public browsing sessions.
