Deploy Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode

Important

Microsoft 365 apps and services will not support Internet Explorer 11 starting August 17, 2021 (Microsoft Teams will not support Internet Explorer 11 earlier, starting November 30, 2020). Learn more. Please note that Internet Explorer 11 will remain a supported browser. Internet Explorer 11 is a component of the Windows operating system and follows the Lifecycle Policy for the product on which it is installed.

Applies to: Microsoft Edge Legacy (version 45 and earlier) on Windows 10, version 1809 or later Professional, Enterprise, and Education

Note

You've reached the documentation for Microsoft Edge Legacy (version 45 and earlier.) To see the documentation for Microsoft Edge version 77 or later, go to the Microsoft Edge documentation landing page. For information about kiosk mode in the new version of Microsoft Edge, see Microsoft Edge kiosk mode.

In the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, we added the capability to use Microsoft Edge Legacy as a kiosk using assigned access. With assigned access, you create a tailored browsing experience locking down a Windows 10 device to only run as a single-app or multi-app kiosk. Assigned access restricts a local standard user account so that it only has access to one or more Windows app, such as Microsoft Edge Legacy in kiosk mode.

In this topic, you'll learn:

  • How to configure the behavior of Microsoft Edge Legacy when it's running in kiosk mode with assigned access.
  • What's required to run Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode on your kiosk devices.
  • You'll also learn how to set up your kiosk device using either Windows Setting or Microsoft Intune or an other MDM service.

At the end of this topic, you can find a list of supported policies for kiosk mode and a feature comparison of the kiosk mode policy and kiosk browser app. You also find instructions on how to provide us feedback or get support.

Kiosk mode configuration types

Policy = Configure kiosk mode (ConfigureKioskMode)

Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode supports four configurations types that depend on how Microsoft Edge Legacy is set up with assigned access, either as a single-app or multi-app kiosk. These configuration types help you determine what is best suited for your kiosk device or scenario.

Important things to note before getting started

  • There are [required steps to follow](#setup- required-for-microsoft-edge-legacy-kiosk-mode) in order to use the following Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode types either alongside the new version of Microsoft Edge or prevent the new version of Microsoft Edge from being installed on your kiosk device.

  • The public browsing kiosk types run Microsoft Edge Legacy InPrivate mode to protect user data with a browsing experience designed for public kiosks.

  • Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode has a built-in timer to help keep data safe in public browsing sessions. When the idle time (no user activity) meets the time limit, a confirmation message prompts the user to continue, and if no user activity Microsoft Edge Legacy resets the session to the default URL. By default, the idle timer is 5 minutes, but you can choose a value of your own.

  • Optionally, you can define a single URL for the Home button, Start page, and New Tab page. See Supported policies for kiosk mode to learn more.

  • No matter which configuration type you choose, you must set up Microsoft Edge Legacy in assigned access; otherwise, Microsoft Edge Legacy ignores the settings in this policy (Configure kiosk mode/ConfigureKioskMode).

    Learn more about assigned access:

Supported configuration types

Single-app

Full-sized view single-app digital/interactive signage

Digital/interactive signage

Displays a specific site in full-screen mode, running Microsoft Edge InPrivate protecting user data.

  • Digital signage does not require user interaction.

    Example. Use digital signage for things like a rotating advertisement or menu.

  • Interactive signage, on the other hand, requires user interaction within the page but doesn’t allow for any other uses, such as browsing the internet.

    Example. Use interactive signage for things like a building business directory or restaurant order/pay station.

Policy setting = Not configured (0 default)

 

Full-sized view single-app public browsing

Public browsing

Runs a limited multi-tab version of Microsoft Edge, protecting user data. Microsoft Edge is the only app users can use on the device, preventing them from customizing Microsoft Edge. Users can only browse publically or end their browsing session.

The single-app public browsing mode is the only kiosk mode that has an End session button. Microsoft Edge also resets the session after a specified time of user inactivity. Both restart Microsoft Edge and clear the user’s session.

Example. A public library or hotel concierge desk are two examples of public browsing that provides access to Microsoft Edge and other apps.

Policy setting = Enabled (1)

Multi-app

Full-sized view multi-app normal browsing

Normal browsing

Runs a full-version of Microsoft Edge with all browsing features and preserves the user data and state between sessions.

Some features may not work depending on what other apps you have configured in assigned access. For example, installing extensions or books from the Microsoft store are not allowed if the store is not available. Also, if Internet Explorer 11 is set up in assigned access, you can enable EnterpriseModeSiteList to automatically switch users to Internet Explorer 11 for sites that need backward compatibility support.

Policy setting = Not configured (0 default)

 

Full-sized view multi-app public browsing

Public browsing

Runs a multi-tab version of Microsoft Edge InPrivate with a tailored experience for kiosks that runs in full-screen mode. Users can open and close Microsoft Edge and launch other apps if allowed by assigned access. Instead of an End session button to clear their browsing session, the user closes Microsoft Edge normally.

In this configuration, Microsoft Edge can interact with other applications. For example, if Internet Explorer 11 is set up in multi-app assigned access, you can enable EnterpriseModeSiteList to automatically switch users to Internet Explorer 11 for sites that need backward compatibility support.

Example. A public library or hotel concierge desk are two examples of public browsing that provides access to Microsoft Edge and other apps.

Policy setting = Enabled (1)


Set up Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode

Now that you're familiar with the different kiosk mode configurations and have the one you want to use in mind, you can use one of the following methods to set up Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode:

  • Windows Settings. Use only to set up a couple of single-app devices because you perform these steps physically on each device. For a multi-app kiosk device, use Microsoft Intune or other MDM service.

  • Microsoft Intune or other MDM service. Use to set up several single-app or multi-app kiosk devices. Microsoft Intune and other MDM service providers offer more options for customizing the Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode experience using any of the Supported policies for kiosk mode.

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Edge Legacy on Windows 10, version 1809 (Professional, Enterprise, and Education).

  • See Setup required for Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode.

  • URL to load when the kiosk launches. The URL that you provide sets the Home button, Start page, and New Tab page.

  • For Microsoft Intune or other MDM service, you must have the AppUserModelID (AUMID) to set up Microsoft Edge Legacy:

    Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge
    

Setup required for Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode

When the new version of Microsoft Edge Stable channel is installed, Microsoft Edge Legacy is hidden and all attempts to launch Microsoft Edge Legacy are redirected to the new version of Microsoft Edge.

To continue using Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode on your kiosk devices take one of the following actions:

  • If you plan to install Microsoft Edge Stable channel, want to allow it to be installed, or it is already installed on your kiosk device set the Microsoft Edge Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience policy to Enabled.
  • To prevent Microsoft Edge Stable channel from being installed on your kiosk devices deploy the Microsoft Edge Allow installation default policy for Stable channel or consider using the Blocker toolkit to disable automatic delivery of Microsoft Edge.

Note

Microsoft Edge Legacy is no longer available. For more information, see New Microsoft Edge to replace Microsoft Edge Legacy in the Microsoft 365 Blog.

Use Windows Settings

Windows Settings is the simplest and the only way to set up one or a couple of single-app devices.

  1. On the kiosk device, open Windows Settings, and in the search field type kiosk and then select Set up a kiosk (assigned access).

  2. On the Set up a kiosk page, click Get started.

  3. Type a name to create a new kiosk account, or choose an existing account from the populated list and click Next.

  4. On the Choose a kiosk app page, select Microsoft Edge Legacy and then click Next.

  5. Select how Microsoft Edge Legacy displays when running in kiosk mode:

    • As a digital sign or interactive display - Displays a specific site in full-screen mode, running Microsoft Edge Legacy InPrivate protecting user data.

    • As a public browser - Runs a limited multi-tab version of Microsoft Edge Legacy, protecting user data.

  6. Select Next.

  7. Type the URL to load when the kiosk launches.

  8. Accept the default value of 5 minutes for the idle time or provide a value of your own.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Close the Settings window to save and apply your choices.

  11. Restart the kiosk device and sign in with the local kiosk account to validate the configuration.

Congratulations!

You’ve just finished setting up a single-app kiosk device using Windows Settings.

What's next?

  • User your new kiosk device.

    OR

  • Make changes to your kiosk device. In Windows Settings, on the Set up a kiosk page, make your changes to Choose a kiosk mode and Set up Microsoft Edge Legacy.

Use Microsoft Intune or other MDM service

With this method, you can use Microsoft Intune or other MDM services to configure Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode in assigned access and how it behaves on a kiosk device. To learn about a few app fundamentals and requirements before adding them to Intune, see Add apps to Microsoft Intune.

Important

If you are using a local account as a kiosk account in Microsoft Intune, make sure to sign into this account and then sign out before configuring the kiosk device.

  1. In Microsoft Intune or other MDM service, configure AssignedAccess to prevent users from accessing the file system, running executables, or other apps.

  2. Configure the following MDM settings to setup Microsoft Edge Legacy kiosk mode on the kiosk device and then restart the device.
