Enabling Windows 10 Kiosk mode using Embedded Shell Launcher

11.6k views Asked by At

We are developing a C# Windows application that needs to be run on Windows 10 Pro in Kiosk mode. The goal is to limit the possibilities for the user to only be able to use our Application.

I have tried following this guide from MSDN:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/commercialize/customize/enterprise/shell-launcher

And this guide from technet:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/windows/manage/set-up-a-kiosk-for-windows-10-for-desktop-editions

But without success...

We start by installing the Embedded Shell Launcher from Programs and Features (Even tried the commandline install as well)

Then fetch the large powershell script - and modify it to use our own user and path for the application to start.

When we run the script it actually stops right in the start with the following message:

WARNING: The generated type is not public.

Shell Launcher license enabled is set to False

This device doesn't have required license to use Shell Launcher

So it seems that I do not have the licence required? Enabled?

Strange... If i uncomment this startup check i get through the script and in the end the scripts says Enabled = true and then Enabled = false?

Strange so it seems the script ends with disabling the hole lot again.

If I uncomment this last disable and reboot - I get black screen right after login. So something is going on.

But until now I haven't had success starting the Kiosk application.

Anybody having success with this tools? Guides?

Help is much appriciated
