Is it possible to force focus on the web page that opens on Edge in kiosk mode?

Hello, I use a nuc under windows 11 in kiosk mode.

I seem to have a focus problem on Edge.

The session opens alone and launches edge in full-screen kiosk mode by loading the URL of a site.

I made sure that when you arrive on an internet page and press the enter key on the keyboard, a popup appears.

But during certain PC starts, pressing the enter key on the keyboard does nothing at all, on this page. Looks like the keyboard is not detected. If I plug the mouse back in, and I click, then I can click enter again and it works fine. I don't understand why loose focus sometimes.

Is it possible to force focus on the web page that opens on Edge in kiosk mode?

THANKS

Hi @Laurent Frogger ,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A.

To narrow down the issue, could you please help check the following things?

Does the issue occur on all devices?

Does the issue occur on all websites? I tested the URL below and the "Enter" key works fine.
--kiosk www.google.com --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen Please kindly have a try on your side.

Hello

Thank you for your reply Raina

The problem does not occur under Linux + Braves which also works autonomously

Yes this also happens on other urls like

--kiosk www.google.com --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen

Is random. Could it be Windows 11 updates or notifications that prevent this focus?

Because the machine turns off alone in the evening, and turns on alone in the morning. One day the "enter" button works, but the next day it works and the next day it doesn't work.

Could this be because you need to activate a special mode for the keyboard? Or force Windows to focus on edge in kiosk mode?

If you have other leads, I'm interested. Thanks

Please help check if it works fine in Chrome browser on Windows 11.

Please help check if it works fine in Edge browser on Linux.
