How to set up Kiosk mode on Windows 11

Kiosk mode in Windows 11 is a feature that’s been around for many years that turns a traditional machine into a single-purpose device that only runs one app. This feature is typically used to set up a computer as a kiosk for guests to access the Internet, fill out an application, or convert a device into a digital sign to showcase a product or promote your business.

Whatever the situation, when using this mode, the computer will automatically log in and run only one application in full screen mode with a restricted user account that does not allow anyone to access the desktop, change settings, or switch to a different program.

In this Windows 11 guide, we will walk you through enabling, configuring, and disabling Kiosk Mode on your PC.
