I am trying to create Kiosk mode in win 10 using setup assigned access, After i create the local account i am trying to choose the kiosk app as MS Teams as the app for kiosk and i am not able to find MS Teams in the list
Dear @Mohamed Faisal Abdul Majeedh ,
Assigned Access, or "Kiosk Mode", in Windows 10 is designed to restrict a user account to only run a specific Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. Therefore, for an application to appear in the list of available apps for Assigned Access, it needs to be a UWP app.
To my knowledge, Microsoft Teams is primarily available as a desktop application (Win32) and not a UWP app, which is why it doesn't appear in the list of apps when setting up Assigned Access.
If you want to use Microsoft Teams or any other non-UWP application in a Kiosk mode, you will need an alternative approach or workaround. Here are some potential solutions:
Use Third-Party Kiosk Software: There are third-party kiosk solutions available that allow more flexibility than Windows' built-in Assigned Access. These solutions often support both UWP and non-UWP apps, making it easier to run something like Microsoft Teams in a kiosk environment.
Shell Launcher: In Windows, you can replace the default shell (explorer.exe) with a custom shell application. This can be a Win32 application, like Microsoft Teams. This is more technical and requires proper configuration to ensure a secure and stable environment.
Group Policy: Use Group Policies to set a custom user interface for specific users. This can be found under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Custom User Interface. By setting this up, when the designated user logs in, only the specified application will launch.
Convert MS Teams to UWP: Although this is a more complicated and potentially impractical method, tools like the Desktop App Converter (also known as Desktop Bridge) exist to convert Win32 applications into UWP apps. However, the success of the conversion, especially for complex apps like MS Teams, is not guaranteed.
Before implementing any of these solutions, especially in a business environment, you should thoroughly test the setup to ensure stability and security. If setting up kiosk mode with Microsoft Teams is critical for your organization, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for specific guidance or possible solutions tailored to your needs.
I hope this provides clarity and possible solutions to your situation. If you have any further questions or need additional guidance, feel free to ask.
