This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I have Microsoft Edge with assigned and it works great by following the below documentation.
Unfortunately, this setting does not apply to kiosk mode. I've also tried to find the flag online so I can apply it directly to the shortcut of Microsoft Edge but there is no documentation on what the command is and there is no documentation on editing any config file to turn on or off flags.
I'm hoping you can share some wisdom on either the flag command so I can apply it directly to the shortcut. Or the registry command if there is one. Or some form of the configuration file that can be applied to chromium-based browsers.
I look forward to hearing from you!
You can disable this (and any other feature) via the --disable-features command line argument. (Values are comma separated.) In this case, you want --flag-switches-begin --disable-features=msExperimentalScrolling --flag-switches-end.
Thank you!! For a sanity check is this how you apply the command line argument?
Am I correct in thinking that this argument in the program files where the edge browser is located
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application{Version_Number_Here
will force Kiosk to use that setting?
Additionally, is there documentation for all these command-line arguments?
I edited the answer a bit to include the missing begin/end flags.
I'm not sure how you start your kiosk mode, but one example would be to create a shortcut that points to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" --kiosk --flag-switches-begin --disable-features=msExperimentalScrolling --flag-switches-end.There are no docs that I'm aware of. (I had to reach out to the Edge team directly.) You can, however, glean the feature names by turning them on then visiting
edge://versionfor the exact command line needed.I run Microsoft Edge with assigned access exactly stated on the documentation and my first comment.
I'll go into more detail:
So your command works in the Local administrator on a shortcut, but I cannot get it working on Windows 10 Kiosk.
I've tried editing registry of the EXE of WIndows Edge beta to include the parameter you have provided. Using the below StackOverflow as reference.

Ah, I see now. Let me set this up a virtual machine and get back to you shortly.
Any updates?
