How to hide all context menu running Edge in kiosk mode

Question

Hi All,

I'm using Edge to open a website in kiosk mode

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk "Site URL" --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --disable-features=Translate

When I open a pdf file and select text, a mini menu appears.

It only happens in kiosk mode as I already disabled the related Appearance menu

I need to hide all menus!

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Hi @Luigi Sciarra ,

In order to disable the mini menu in Kiosk mode, you'll need to configure the QuickSearchShowMiniMenu group policy. Disabling this policy will hide every mini menu, including those in Kiosk mode.

If you are not familiar with group policy configuration, you can read this tutorial first. Basically, you should:

1. Download and install the Microsoft Edge administrative template.
2. Add the administrative template to an individual computer.
3. Disable QuickSearchShowMiniMenu policy according to the policy documentation.
