Windows 10 Kiosk mode with KACE
Hi, I am new to KACE. We are wanting to set up some windows 10 machines into kiosk mode and would like to know if KACE can accomplish this task. Any advice, tips, and tricks is greatly appreciated!

Since the Kiosk mode can be setup and configured and started via powershell (see here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/kiosk-single-app ) this is no problem.
You can setup a script in the scripting module and run on the machines you want to set as kiosk and also can move it back if you like the same way.
Our Kace kiosk experience has been challenging, it was not working for a while. We had someone determine that it looks like Kace SMA agent takes over Explorer.exe as the Windows user shell, which causes problems with kiosk mode in Windows 10. Likely in an attempt to get autorun.
To fix:
Regedit
HKLM / Software / Microsoft / Windows NT / WinLogon
Change Userinit from:
C:\windows\system32\KUsrInit.exe,
to:
C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,
Yes, including the comma.
Still testing the Kace agent functionality after that change.
