Restricting User Access to Only Specific Avalonia UI Apps on Windows 11

Question

Hello,

How can I create and configure a user account on Windows 11 to restrict access to only my Avalonia UI application?
My application launches another program through a specific interface that do recording from 4 cameras to one of the computer's disks. We are recording using a dotnet wrapper https://www.nuget.org/packages/K4AdotNet for Azure Kinect SDK.

Additionally, my GUI application connects to a PostgreSQL database.

Versions:
.NET 6.0 SDK
Avalonia 0.10.18
PostgreSQL 14.8
Windows 11 Pro 22H2 os buid 22621.2283

Is there a quick way to achieve this without significant code changes?
I've looked into Kiosk mode, but it seems that my application needs to be developed as a Kiosk app, which would require substantial modifications.
Is it possible to accomplish this with minimal or no code changes?
Thank you in advance.
