Disable Copy & Paste Option is MS Edge in Kiosk Mode

Question

I am using Windows Kiosk feature to user MS Edge. I want to disable copy and paste (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+Shift+L) option in MS Edge, even in Address Bar. Also disable Right click in Address Bar. I can't use any third-party tool. Please suggest if its possible through registry settings.

Hi @Dhiraj Sharma

You can disable Ctrl+Shift+L using this policy ConfigureKeyboardShortcuts. The corresponding registry setting is like below:

• Path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
• Value Name: ConfigureKeyboardShortcuts
• Value Type: REG_SZ

SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ConfigureKeyboardShortcuts = {
  "disabled": [
    "paste_and_go"
  ]
}

All configurable keyboard shortcuts can be found in this table: Configurable commands. Unfortunately, Ctrl+C is not configurable through registry setting. You can provide feedback to Edge team by pressing Alt+Shift+I in Edge.

For address bar in kiosk mode, you can set Read only address bar (policy) which is supported in kiosk mode public browsing: Kiosk mode supported features. If you disable this policy, it prevents users from changing the URL in the address bar.

Update:

Are you using Edge in kiosk mode public browsing (--edge-kiosk-type=public-browsing)? If so, you can disable right click menu for Edge address bar like what I said above. Just disable this policy KioskAddressBarEditingEnabled. The registry setting is like below:

The result is like below:
