Microsoft is testing a new multi-app kiosk mode lockdown feature for IT admins in the latest Windows 11 Insider Preview build released to the Dev Channel.
"Multi-app kiosk mode is a lockdown feature for Windows 11 that allows an IT administrator to select a set of allowable apps to run on the device, while all other functionalities are blocked," Windows Insider team members Amanda Langowski and Brandon LeBlanc said.
The new feature allows multiple people to use the same Windows 11 device with different pre-defined sets of apps and Windows preferences.
Block toasts and pop-ups that lead to unwanted UI. Admins can now enable the new Windows 11 kiosk mode using PowerShell and WMI Bridge, with Microsoft planning to add soon support for Intune/MDM and provisioning package configurations.
The new multi-app kiosk mode can be enabled by insiders who have installed the latest dev release, Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25169.
