Windows 10: Win10 how to add app to Kiosk Mode list so I can assign it to a user

Running Windows 10, trying to set up PCs in Kiosk Mode. Everywhere I turn I find how to assign a user to pre-existing Apps in Kiosk Mode, but no one explains how to add an app, in my case an Internet Explorer Shortcut file, to the app list.

You'd think this would be mentioned somewhere.

I tried using Powershell using an administrative account on the PC, but got the following messages:
Get-AppxPackage : Access is denied
Access is denied.
At C:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\Modules\AssignedAccess\AssignedAccess.psm1:127 char:22

and

Application was not found. Enter either a valid AppName or AUMID


Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance!

Mateo,

If you would be satisfied with limiting the user to using any installed applications [rather than only being able to browse] then you could make it a Standard user account and set "User account control" to its maximum level - see

• Control panel,
• User accounts,
• Change user account control settings.

You can limit a user to just using Edge or another "App" by setting up Assigned Access (Kiosk Mode) - there is some guidance in

Set up Assigned Access (Kiosk Mode) - TenForums.

If Edge is not the browser you want to use but your chosen browser is not available in the Windows store as an "App" then you could seek guidance in the IT admins forum -

TechNet.

how to add any app on the list of "choose a app" in "set up assigned access" of windows 10 Settins

I am trying to set up kiosk mode in windows 10. I found about "assigned access"

Problem is it can be assign only one app for the user.

Furthermore, I cannot see an app that I want to assign.

1. Can I assign more than one app?

OR

2. Can I assign "edge" or "google" app?
