Windows 10: Assigned Access kiosk and copy/paste

I have an in house kiosk app that we set up using "set-assignedaccess" The app itself works great. The app runs as a regular non-admin user. Also, when the app is run as an admin or regular user outside of being set up with assigned access, copy/paste works, so I presume assignedaccess is the culprit.


One limitation that we've run into is that copy/paste does not work. (even though the right-click "copy" "paste" popups appear)


For example, our kiosk app has a field where you are allowed to change the machine name, and we are able to right-click some highlighted info and choose "copy" and then then same with right-click and choose "paste". But no info is copied or pasted.


Since our kiosk app is targeted as an initial configuration and also support kiosk app, the ability to copy/paste is very desirable.


Is there a way to enable copy/paste? I've been through the group policy related to copy/paste and clipboard redirection with no success.


Is copy/paste for an assignedaccess (kiosk) app just one of those unavailable tasks?

Assigned Access of Powerpoint Presentation

I was hoping that by downloading the PowerPoint Mobile app in windows store, that I would be able to use it to setup assigned access on a Windows 10 computer and display a powerpoint presentation. Our issues is, we need this to be a Kiosk that no-one can
close out the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to turn most functions off, but you can still access the ease of access toolbar, and can also close the presentation out. When I go to assigned access though, Powerpoint Mobile does not appear in the list of
Apps. I have downloaded other Supposed PowerPoint Presenters, but none of them show up in the list either.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this! I do not understand how to setup the Power Shell code to set this up, too technical for me. But I really need this as Kiosk computer. Any suggestion?

 

How do I remove a "Kiosk" login at login screen??

Hi Victor,

To turn off Kiosk account or assigned access, you can try the steps below.

• 
  Go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Other users.
  
• 
  Choose Set up assigned access.
  
• 
  Choose Don't use assigned access.
  

Let us know if this works for you.

 

No Web Browser in Windows 10 Assigned Access List

I'm the head of IT at a small utility company, and we make use of Assigned Access in order to make available several kiosks which are set up to use our web portal. This worked perfectly with Assigned Access in Windows 8.1, however, now that we've upgraded
to Windows 10, there are no web browsers at all available in the Assigned Access list of available apps. No Internet Explorer, and no Microsoft Edge either.

The kiosks are now running Windows 10 Pro, 64 Bit. I could easily still set up Assigned Access for another app if I so chose, but with no web browser in the list of available apps, our web portal based kiosks are now utterly worthless. Please tell me that
there's a way to fix this. If not, I'll most likely be spending a lot of time this week reverting all those kiosks back to Windows 8.1
