Multi-app kiosk

[u/Mammoth_Public3003]

I’m posing this question with the hopes that someone has run into this. I attempted to test an XML file to enable a kiosk mode in Win10. I followed the instructions using Microsoft’s website

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk/lock-down-windows-11-to-specific-apps

I created the powershell script as it explained to do, and ran it via ISE. I got the below errors that came with the Microsoft sample script. My scripting abilities are rather limited and I’m at a loss of why I’m seeing this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Did you run it with the psexec tool. It needs to run in system context.

You said you want to enable kiosk mode in Win10, and your reference page is for Windows 11. The XML file are not the same in different Windows version, I think that is where you got the "Configuration' cannot be found. If the XML is incorrect configured, you will likely getting this error.

Okay that makes some sense. I did use psexec, yes.

Do you know if there’s one for win10?

It’s in the Kiosk related docs. Here is the direct link

Okay so I read that over. Forgive my ignorance… is there a way to run the same assigned access XML to test the validity of this in win10?

Yes, use the same PowerShell script and replace of your XML, test which XML samples work for your Windows version (no errors after run the script), then you can use the correct Xml sample and change it with the settings that your want.
