Bar charms accesible in kiosk mode in Windows 8 App assigned access

Hi,
a Windows 8 App running ok in kiosk mode during several months nowadays is having some problems related to the accesibility of charms bar.
Nowadays a user can access to charms bar even when the App is running in kiosk mode.
Any idea? May be an update needed?
Thanks

Hi,
Have you check the Kiosk mode user status? Could the current user using Win key?
How about choose other APP run in Kiosk mode? Have you tried yet?

    These options might be dangerous. If someone who knew nothing about the program with this function and he uses this program, it might hurt his system. Since this, it would be better not to post this code in the forum to avoid someone tried the code and hurt
    his system.
    Thanks for your understanding.

    Hi RafałRatyńskiPF,
    Would you please share us the present Internet Explorer version and the Windows system version you are using ?If you are using Windows 8.1 machine ,the situation may be a little different .
    " -kioskresettime (returning to the home page after declared time of inactivity)"
    I haven`t found a method of this activity.
    "-kioskhomebutton (Home button visible while in kiosk mode)"

  • Kiosk mode on a WordPress page using a Poster movie

    This is more of a programming question for the web, but it does involve embedding a QuickTime movie.
    I'm using the current version of WordPress, 2.9.2, and the movie on the site works as expected on my iPod and my computer. My problem is the lack kiosk mode. When I'm not using a poster frame, kiosk mode works fine. For some reason I can't figure out, the poster frame is disabling kiosk mode during playback.
    I would rather not make it as easy as possible for end-users to download my movies. Does anyone have a solution, or the correct code combination, to make kiosk mode work on web pages using a poster movie? Thanks.

  • Kiosk Mode for a Museum Exhibit

    I am helping to put together a museum exhibit and need some help with getting my Surface Pro 2 into Kiosk mode. The hope is that I will be able to have a flocking tutorial on the surface pro 2 and have visitors be able to manipulate the tutorial and view
    it on the tablet. However, I need to make sure that the visitor cannot navigate away from the screen. Currently, the tutorial is on an 'executable JAR file" and it's working great. My question is, how can I prevent the visitor from using the tablet for
    any other reason other than the flocking tutorial on the file? It's not a matter of just restricting access but entirely blocking access to the desktop, app, internet, everything.  The museum doesn't have the staff to make sure that the tablet is always
    opened to the file. I need to make sure that the screen never leaves the file. When I use the family settings and restricting access, it will prevent the user from being able to use an app, or search the internet, but it will have a screen that says access
    is blocked. I need to make sure that the security screen that states that the access is blocked doesn't even come up. In other words,
    I need to make sure that the only thing the tablet can be used for is this tutorial. I would like to be able to use the tablet normally after the exhibit is taken down.
    I don't know much about programming.  I have been trying to work with the tech reps at Microsoft but no one has been able to help me and they suggested that I try this forum.
    Please help!  I need to get this figured out this week because we are installing the exhibit next week.
    Thanks!

  • WPF application run into Kiosk Mode

    Hi.I develope a WPF application with VS.I should use it in Kiosk mode.However when i try to select the app. in assigned access,can't see my application there are just windows applications.My OS is Windows 8.1 enterprise N.Thank you.

    Hi Orhunk,
    Considering this application is developed by yourself ,it is more likely a developing issue .It is recommended to look for help from our MSDN Forum to confirm the application can work correctly. The people there are more experienced in developing .

  • Display window task bar on web page opened in kiosk mode.

    I am using IE8 in Window 7.
    I open a certain web page in kiosk mode (call IE browser with -k option, a full screen without window frame). How can the window task bar be displayed at the bottom of the web page while the web page is in kiosk mode?
    Thank you for advice.

    Hi,
    If you are using kiosk mode for a public access terminal, then you use the default Guest user account and use GPO to limit their access to other applications that are installed at the machine level.
    How the web browser opens links from other programs is set in Internet Options.
    I don't think your EULA's cover Word or Outlook on public access computers.
    Allowing the public to access the windows shell is asking for trouble.... putty and your networks mud.
    Firstly you should update the machine with the latest Windows updates and IE11. And download the admx files and use GPEdit applied to the Guest account to lock down the machine for that user account.(including the shell)

  • Windows 8.1 Update 1 Kiosk Mode difference

    We have a number of stations running modern IE on Windows 8.1 in Kiosk Mode. I ran the in-place upgrade on a few of them to test Windows 8.1 Update 1.  Everything runs fine except that hitting the Windows key 5 times no longer takes you to the login
    screen. Is this by design or just something that was over looked? I also noticed that Crt+Alt+Del works and though I haven't gone back to the original machines that have not been upgraded yet, I believe this didn't used to work.

    Hi,
    Sorry for late reply.
    Based on my test,we didn't meet this issue.

  • Kiosk Mode & RemoteApp

    I have a Windows 8.1 RT tablet that I'd like to allow users to run one of our kiosk desktop applications. We are using RemoteApp to publish it (from WS2012 Essentials). The application is designed to run in kiosk mode (a feature of the application)
    and it works well. However, because I am running it as a RemoteApp on a tablet, users can still swipe in from the side to get the charms bar or tap the Windows icon on the tablet to bypass the kiosk mode.
    I tried to be sneaky and use the built in kiosk mode of 8.1 and allow the Modern app Remote Desktop (published by Microsoft) for a local user. This does actually run Remote Desktop and properly lists the RemoteApp as one the Work Resources. However, it won't
    let me open it.
    I just want to run this RemoteApp on the tablet and restrict users from bypassing it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • AIR application in KIOSK mode

    Hi
    I would like to develop AIR application that will work in KIOSK mode.
    I have to use Native methods, so application will be released as Native Installer (.exe file).
    Problem begins with updating application.
    Imagine I have 20 kiosk running in low privileged rights /security reasons/.
    I would like to update my application, so I have new .exe installation file.
    But instalation requires admin right on machine with kiosk mode.
    So I can't update it automaticly.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
    Many thanks.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for a reply but it was not about update mechanism.
    I am using http://code.google.com/p/nativeapplicationupdater/ which works like a charm.
    But when the downloaded update file runs there is an installer.
    The (adobe air) installer requires permissions + OS admin rights + user agree to replace the old version.
    [so there are 2 popups I don't want]
    Is there any way to make it automaticly / silent way ?
    Maybe some coniguration in Windows / Adobe AIR runtime ?

  • JInternalFrame Full Screen Exclusive mode lag Windows 7?

    <font size=2>Hi everyone I'm not sure if i'm posting this question in the right category so feel free to move it. I recently have been playing around with full screen exclusive mode and JInternalFrames. Now what iv'e noticed is on every platform i've tried it works fine. When clicking and dragging the JInternalFrame to a new location it is quick and responsive. However when doing this same operation in Windows 7 the JInternalFrame lags significantly behind the mouse location as i'm dragging the internal frame. I haven't had a chance to test this on any other Windows platforms such as Vista or XP but I don't think it happens on those platforms, at least I don't remember this ever happening when I had Windows Vista and it doesn't occur in Mac OS 10.6.
    The following are the circumstances i've found that produce this problem:
    *1. The program is set to Full Screen Exclusive mode.*
    *2. You are using Windows 7 (possibly other Windows platforms)*
    *3. Click and drag a JInternalFrame to a new location.*
    I've tried several things to see if it fixes the problem such as setting the look and feel to cross platform but nothing helps. In fact when the LAF is set to cross platform it is even worse.
    Now i'm new to Full Screen Exclusive mode so i'm guessing (hoping) this is a problem caused by an error on my part. Here is the source code, i'd appreciate it if you give it a try. My question is how do I fix this lag so that the JInternalFrame is quick and responsive to the user dragging the window and i'm also wondering if this only happens on Windows 7 so if anyone could also tell me if they experience the problem I am describing and the OS you are using that would be great. Thank you guys :)
    Also any input about wether i'm setting up full screen exclusive mode correctly would be much appreciated too.</font>

    I don't see the lag you describe. There's some flicker when moving the internal frame around rapidly (it looks as if the borders follow the content a split second later, but can't be caught in a screen capture) but that's no different when I show the internal frame in a normal (not full screen) window.

    db<font size=2>Thanks for your reply and thanks for testing out my code. Could this lag be something wrong with my VM on Windows 7, cause the lag is extremely bad as in it takes a couple seconds for the internal frame to catch up with the mouse. I also just noticed that any other components in full screen exclusive mode on Windows 7 lag as well. Such as scrolling though a large amount of text, the scroll bar will lag far behind the mouse location and take a couple of seconds to catch up even when the mouse is moving fairly slow. I was hoping it was something in the code I was doing wrong but I guess not? Any suggestions on how I could fix this problem? It really makes my applications appear sluggish. For example when you click on a normal window such as in Windows Explorer and drag it to a new location the mouse stays in a fixed position on the window while you are dragging it. However with this lag the mouse appears to be "detatched" from the window and does not stay in the same location on the window while dragging. Does anyone else experience this or is this normal? I'm using Windows 7 64bit but I don't think that would make any difference. I'd also like to point out that I'm using Java 6 update 21 I don't know if that would make a difference opposed to update 17.
    Thanks again.</Font>

  • How to disable dangerous options in on screen keyboard in kiosk mode?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to make a kiosk like application based on Windows 7. I run locked down IE in kiosk mode and that's quite OK.
    However when I run the OSK.exe (on screen keyboard) - it has two dangerous buttons: Options (where I can click on "Control whether the On-Screen Keyboard starts when I log on" link and then run Windows explorer, and Help (where I can go to Options, and then
    click on "Read the privacy statement online" link that brings me fresh IE).
    Is there way to disable in OSK those two buttons? 
    For instance, when I run OSK on logon screen it hides the Help button and the dangerous link in the Options button, so it's possible at least for MS. Is it possible for plain customers?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nikolai.
    WBR, Nikolai

    Hi,
    Based on my test and research, I’m afraid that the two options of On-screen Keyboard may not be disabled.
    Instead, you can use
    Tablet PC Input Panel and see how it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't get Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 to fill 27" screen

    I successfully installed Windows XP Mode on my Windows 7 OS running in Boot Camp and it works but the XP VM doesn't fill the 27" screen when I expand it to Full Screen. I get black bars on the left and right side of the XP OS, the top and bottom are filled. I checked the settings on the Display control panel in XP and there are no choices other than the default setting. Does anyone know what to change to make Virtual PC running XP in Windows 7 fill my 27" iMac screen? (That's a mouth full).

    Good evening -
    Thanks for the response. I loaded drivers from CD.  I want to keep the operating system on the 80 GIG ATA drive and use the SATA RAID for programs.  The drives show up in the device manager and in the VIA RAID utility that came with the motherboard but I can't see or access them through My Computer.  I have tried to set up the RAID through both the Windows software and through the Boot program, but no luck.  When I tried to update the drivers from the floppy it said no newer drivers found. (I tried to update drivers through the Device manager.)  Also when I deleted the raid and tried to set up the drives individually the same thing happened.  Is it possible I don't have the BIOS set up correctly? I am at a loss.
