Windows 10: Windows 11 Singe App Kiosk Leads to Black Screen on Any Account Login

I used the Windows Configuration Designer to create a single app kiosk assigned to a new local user account, and restarted the system after doing so. After rebooting, the login screen shows accounts for the primary microsoft account, the local kiosk account, and the kiosk administrator account. Logging into any of these accounts results in a black screen. there is no start bar, no desktop, and the only way to access any Windows features is to launch tasks through the task manager.I have tried the solutions recommended in this forum post: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/ex

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.

Kiosk mode causes all user account to be black screen after applying provisioning package

hi I'm trying to configure kiosk mode in windows 10 pro and also I want to use a custom application as the kiosk app.

The custom application is an "indusoft HMI applications" which as a RunStartup.exe in its bin folders, which will open & run the application

build using the indusoft HMI software.

Indusoft is a software use to create human machine interface application. once a HMI is created, it can be made

to run by executing the "RunStartup.exe" application found in the \BIN folders of the indusoft software.

So by using windows configuration designer I add the "RunStartup.exe" as the kiosk app and created the login account accordingly

following the windows configurations designer. For the kiosk application, it is selected as "windows classic app" and

the full path of the "RunStartup.exe" application is provided as requested by the windows configuration designer as to select it as the kiosk app.

so in kiosk mode I expect that ,it will execute the "RunStartup.exe" and the HMI will be running in kiosk mode.

so then finally I created the provisioning package and added the provisioning package to the windows PC. it will create 2 new accounts,

a local admin account and the kiosk account which have the path to the "RunStartup.exe".

The problem is after adding the package, it created the the 2 new accounts correctly, 1 local admin account and the other kiosk account

and also the windows already have another 2 accounts before, so total 4 accounts now.

so after adding the package and restart my PC, the PC straights becomes black screen with mouse pointer only but I can press CTRL ALT DEL

to switch to between the 4 accounts, but all the account after login will be black screens only. the kiosk mode not running the "RunStartup.exe" application

at all. the task manager only shows 1 app running which is the task manager itself and the background processes, but the screen is just black.

all account is same after login, becomes black screen.

so my question will be:

1. what the basic qualifications for an app to be used in kiosk mode, anyway indusoft is a Microsoft partner software.. I just believed that it can be
   
   run in kiosk mode. (I'm checking with the software supplier and waiting reply)
   
2. what's the common issue of black screen where windows OS is running but no any apps is running except for background processes
   
3. can we just use any application to run in kiosk mode or the application must be designed to run in kiosk mode before using the application in kiosk mode.
   
4. what we can do in a event of black screen?? as now all my windows account become black screen, how do I revert back to normal, reformat and install windows again.. for now only task manager can run on top of the black screen.
