Windows 10: stuck by kiosk mode

Hi, I set up Kiosk mode in windows 10 with access only to Paint 3D. When going out i pressed ctrl+alt+del and then windows tried to do something but the screen went black for at least several minutes. I force shut it down, but now when I turn it on it is stuck at windows logo with 'thinking' indicator. What should I do?

:)

 

Stuck in kiosk mode

Thank you for your reply.

The references you provided are helpful once you can get into settings. The problem I'm having is that I'm stuck in kiosk mode and cannot switch out to another user to view other settings and functions. I'm looking for a way to force a switch to another
user or a way to stop restart from automatically launching in kiosk mode. Is there a way to switch user from safe mode or some startup config upon restart?

 

Windows 10 kiosk mode: screen locks after login

Hi Matthias,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues while using Kiosk Mode on Windows 10.



Since you are being logged out of Kiosk Mode after every login, I suggest you to refer the article

Troubleshoot kiosk mode issues.



Also, you can try removing and creating the Kiosk account again, follow the steps mentioned below to remove the Kiosk account:

1. Go to Settings >
   Accounts > Family & other people.
   
2. Under Setup a kiosk option click on
   Assigned access.
   
3. Now under Kiosk info click on the
   account name and click on Remove kiosk.
   
4. Now click on Remove.
   

Once the account is removed, refer the article to
Set up a single-app kiosk.



Hope it helps.
