Lockdown your Windows 7/8.1 and Windows 10/11 Devices Into Kiosk Mode

Windows kiosk mode enables the lockdown of Windows digital devices in single or multiple pre-approved applications to turn them into dedicated kiosks. The lockdown mechanism gives IT admins control over device permissions and allowed applications, restricts unauthorized access, and minimizes user intervention. IT admins secure kiosk devices by pushing regular OS updates and limiting access to authorized apps and websites, thus preventing malware or virus threats.

Kiosk mode devices are dedicated devices that restrict access to pre-approved applications and websites. Kiosk mode is used to run devices for focused purposes so that users have access to only approved content and apps for improved productivity and greater security. Some applications can be self-service kiosks, digital signage, and kiosks used for payments and feedback at retail outlets.

Kiosk mode locks down digital devices in single-app or multiple-app mode. Single app mode restricts the device usage to a default application and users cannot make changes to the device settings. In multi-app mode, users can access one or more apps to ensure business-specific device usage. IT admins control kiosk devices from an MDM dashboard remotely.

Yes, Windows 11 devices can be locked down and managed with Scalefusion MDM for dedicated enterprise use in kiosk mode. IT admins can set up Windows 11 devices in kiosk mode and restrict access to applications using modern device management for Windows.

Windows 10/ 11 kiosks can be set up in either single-app or multi-app mode. Login to your Scalefusion account, navigate to ‘Enroll Devices’ and enroll your Windows 10/ 11 devices by choosing the Windows tab. Go to ‘Device Profiles & Policies’, and choose an existing policy or create a new one by clicking on ‘Create New Profile’. Push the Device Profile to the Windows 10/11 devices and configure them to kiosks through the dashboard.
