Windows 10: Win 11 Multi App Kiosk Assigned Access - Office Apps are not blocked

Hello allA couple of preliminary things before we get to the title issue in case they have relevance somehow.Using the same script as a machine I setup a few months ago, this time it would not load.Turns out if I update to the latest Windows 11 patch, the load script fails.Rolling back and it installed the script without issue and now onto behaviour.Looks like something has changed but the supporting documentation hasn't been updated to reflect the changes, unless it's a bug.This section isn't restricting file explorer to the downloads folder - all folders are accessible - effects both machine

Assigned Access (Multi App Kiosk Mode) Always on top

We are using a multi app kiosk setup that allows the users to open various programs. The problem is we use a time keeping app that times their use that should be always on top in the bottom right hand corner. Unfortunately the application only shows when
they open another application and as soon as they close it the desktop covers up the time keeping app. Is there any way to override the desktop from always being on top in multi App Kiosk mode? I'm using an XML file to configure the computer with a provisioning
package.

Thanks

 

Unblock Toast notifications on Intune multi-app kiosk

I have a system utilising a multi-app kiosk delivered by Intune. The default settings block any and all Toast Notification popups. The system is for a Library setting and the library management system (Libki) session time reminder notifications are being blocked.

I have tested the app on the same device without the restrictions and the toasts are displayed without issue. I have so far found a great number of registry settings that have unblocked the notification settings in various blades in the Settings app, and outwardly it looks like it should be allowing the toasts. However, when running as the unrestricted account, the Settings>System>Notification & Actions shows the Libki app in the "Get notifications from these apps" list. When logged in as the kiosk user, that list shows only the "Tablet mode" app.

I'm aware that there is an SQL lite db in the local appdata folder that has some interaction with the registry settings in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Notifications

but have been unable to get Libki to populate into the list in Settings. I suspect that that alone, or in combination with the resultant options that should be available to me thereafter, will probably allow the notifications.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem with: Removing Single app KIOSK/Assigned access

I have been testing the KIOSK mode in windows 10 pro through:

1. Open settings
2. Click on Accounts
3. Click on Family & other users
4. Under "Set up a Kiosk" click the Assigned Access option
5. Click Get started and follow the steps

The KIOSK mode is working, however, I only wanted to quickly test it. After testing, I wanted to remove the KIOSK account, but when I click on the KIOSK account and click remove
it only shows a spinning loading symbol, only to either lock up
settings after a few minutes or tell me that it didn't work. I also tried to remove it through the powershell with clear-AssignedAccess
but that also just locks up after a few minutes and gives me an error that says that there is not real error.

All of this is attempted as an administrator, without any other accounts logged in.
