What is Windows 10 Kiosk Mode

Lockdown of Windows 10 devices into kiosk mode is a way that enables companies to have enhanced control and governance over the Windows devices. Basically, when companies want their Windows 10 devices to be used for a specific business-related purpose only, they prefer locking them down into kiosks using remote software.

When a Windows 10 device is turned into a kiosk, the following things are implemented:

Single or multi-app kiosk mode lockdown of Windows 10 devices: The Windows 10 devices are locked into either single or multi-app kiosk mode. This means that the device users/employees can use/access only the app(s) pre-selected and published by the company IT admin.

The Windows 10 devices can be used as digital signages: Depending on the business requirements, the company IT admin can remotely lock down the Windows 10 devices and publish a particular message/image or multimedia content that can be shown in a loop on the locked devices.

Lockdown of Windows 10 devices into kiosk browser: The IT admin can lock down the Windows 10 devices with a kiosk browser for browsing websites for work, education and business. This customizable browser gives access to the internet in a controlled and managed environment.

Management and security of Windows 10 devices: Turning Windows 10 devices into kiosk mode implies that the company IT admin will be able to remotely manage, monitor and secure the devices with the right set of security policies and management features for enhanced productivity.

Data and device usage restrictions in Windows 10 kiosk mode: Lockdown of Windows 10 devices into kiosk mode automatically restricts the users/employees from performing any other personal tasks on the devices.
