    Hello Logging out from Windows 10 in single app kiosk mode without a keyboard can be a bit tricky. Here are a few methods you might consider:   On-Screen Keyboard: You can enable the on-screen keyboard in the kiosk account settings. This will allow you to use the on-screen keyboard to perform actions that would normally require a physical keyboard.   Ctrl-Shift-Delete: If the on-screen keyboard is enabled, you can press Ctrl-Shift-Delete to log out.   Ctrl-Shift-Esc: If you need to return to the original shell configuration or display Windows Explorer, press Ctrl-Shift-Esc to start the Task Manager.   Power Button: If the device has a physical power button, you can use it to shut down the device. However, this should be used as a last resort as it does not properly log out the user and can lead to data loss.   As for switching off the interactive display in kiosk mode on Windows 10, you might need to adjust the power settings of the device to turn off the display after a certain period of inactivity. This can usually be found in the Control Panel under Power Options.   Please note that these methods might not work in all situations, and the exact steps can vary depending on the specific configuration of the kiosk mode.
