Windows 10: Disable Microsft Edge InPrivate browser in Kiosk Mode

Hello there,


I recently got tasked to set up a Kiosk on a windows 10 Enterprise machine. I create the Kiosk, select Microsoft Edge as a "Public Browser" and everything works great, but unfortunately Edge runs "InPrivate" mode and whenever I try to "Click to go back" I get the message "This page was just here a second ago" If I refresh it works great so I'm assuming the issue is the "InPrivate" mode.


I tried disabling it from GPO > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge > Allow InPrivate browsing


and from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Microsoft Edge with no avail.


I'm sure something is missing and if someone could give me a hand that would be great!


Thanks



:)

 

Windows 10 Kiosk Mode Edge Browser

Hi.

I am running a computer in Windows 10 Pro In Kiosk Mode (Assigned Access) and this will run a Single Microsoft store app in full screen. The app running is Windows Edge running a single URL
to my company's server.

Kiosk mode restricts the users from accessing desktop, switch apps or change settings. Which is exactly what I want. I plan to use this PC for public use, to ONLY display content from our server. The
public users cannot do anything else on this pc.

The issue I am having is in this Kiosk Mode - running Edge. Right click is enabled and this brings up the Microsoft Edge Context Menu. The public users can highlight a text, and do a "Search the Web for
<whatever is highlighted>". This brings up another webpage and brings the computer to be unusable. This new webpage is blocked in fullscreen and due to the system being in Kiosk mode, we are unable to get out of this screen. Only option is to Ctrl Alt Del,
and log back in .

How do I disable Windows Edge Context Menu or disable the right click on the mouse for Windows Edge? because their is also other links like Read aloud I want no possible way to navigate away from our intended
page im sure this must have something to do with the bing search engine but even disabling that would still have other options in the context menu like read aloud which I do not want

Any help with this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

Edge records history InPrivate mode


Well, that is rather interesting observation.





Did you observe that during your browsing or after you're done? Please post the screen!
