More Control and Customization with Advanced Windows Kiosk SettingsSolved

We are excited to introduce an enhanced experience for configuring Windows kiosk policies in Hexnode UEM. The updated Advanced Kiosk Settings offer greater flexibility in configuring kiosk accounts, managing applications, and customizing the kiosk interface to suit different deployment requirements. 

Now, Windows Kiosk Lockdown offers two configuration paths: Standard, powered by Windows CSP, and Advanced, powered by the Hexnode Agent. Both support Single App and Multi App kiosk configurations, while Advanced also includes dedicated options for Website Kiosk, Digital Signage, Launcher, and Kiosk Exit Settings. 

What is new: 

• Flexible Kiosk Account Configuration: In Single App Kiosk, you can now choose from four account types: Local user, AD user, Microsoft Entra ID, and Autologon.  

• Enhanced Multi App Configuration and Customization: Switch between Basic View and Advanced View for different levels of kiosk configuration. Select applications from dedicated categories for Local Apps, Public Store apps, and Desktop Apps, and preview the kiosk layout in PC and Tablet modes. Advanced View also lets you customize the layout by adjusting icon size, enabling automatic icon arrangement, configuring grid dimensions, setting screen orientation, and sorting icons based on the selected layout. 

• Customizable Kiosk Launcher: Set an app to launch automatically with a configurable delay. Customize the launcher with logos, titles, icons, fonts, colors, and background styling. 

• Configurable Kiosk Exit Settings: Configure password-protected manual exit, exit shortcuts, and the required number of taps or clicks. Additional options include app relaunch, automatic kiosk enablement, and auto-logoff. 

Why this matters: These enhancements provide administrators with greater control over how Windows devices are configured and presented in kiosk mode. From choosing the appropriate user account to organizing applications and adjusting the kiosk layout, you can create a more tailored kiosk experience for different device types and deployment scenarios. 

Where to find it: 

Navigate to Policies > Kiosk Lockdown > Windows Kiosk Lockdown > Advanced to configure and customize kiosk settings for your deployment requirements.
