    Thanks for the wishes and glad you are liking the product so far 🙂

     

    Also, I'm excited that you're trying out a Kiosk solution for your needs with the new Edge. As you noticed, Kiosk is a work in progress for the new Edge...so all feedback is welcomed and keenly listened to. In that sense, thanks for sharing the set of things that you feel are important for your needs. We'll weigh these into our work.

     

    Given that you found the legacy Edge's Kiosk features good, are you just evaluating the status of this feature in the new Edge? Or are you trying to deploy a solution with the new Edge? Have you considered configuring the new Edge as a Kiosk app using the Windows Multi-App Assigned Access Kiosk setup? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/lock-down-windows-10-to-specific-apps

     

    I believe this might give you some additional lockdown that you are looking for with regards to access to File explorer, other exes, etc. Here's a detailed article from an IT admin who tried this option with the new Edge recently: https://www.inthecloud247.com/setup-edge-chromium-based-kiosk-device-with-microsoft-intune/

     

    Let me know what you think. Also, please feel free to reach out to me via direct message in case you would like to share more about your scenario.
