Auto-Login for Windows Devices in Hexnode Kiosk ModeSolved

Hello everyone,

We’re currently managing a fleet of Windows devices through Hexnode UEM, all configured in kiosk mode. These devices are deployed in public spaces, and our objective is to ensure that after any reboot, due to an update, system crash, or manual restart, the device will automatically log into the kiosk account without requiring any user intervention, such as a password prompt or manual login.

Is there a way to make this happen with Hexnode, ideally without compromising security or compliance?

Just to clarify, what type of kiosk mode are you using?

We are using single app website kiosk mode in public spaces.

I think there’s an Auto-Login option, but it’s only available if you’re using Multi-App Kiosk mode. I haven’t seen any option similar to that for Website Kiosk mode.

Hi @tomas, welcome to Hexnode Connect!

Currently, Hexnode does not provide a built-in option to enable auto-login for single app website kiosk mode on Windows devices.

However, you can still configure automatic login by deploying a PowerShell script via Hexnode using the Execute Custom Script action. This script modifies the Windows Registry to allow the device to automatically sign in to the kiosk account after a reboot.

Replace Username and Password with your kiosk account credentials.
This will ensure that after a reboot, the device automatically logs into the kiosk session without requiring manual input.

For more information, check out our help documentation on enabling automatic logon for Windows kiosks.
