Windows devices enjoy a popular market share, by and large. From enterprises to classrooms, Windows 10 desktops and laptops continue to be synonymous with personal computers worldwide. For efficient use of Windows 10 devices for business or education, it is imperative to manage them effectively.
When Windows 10 devices are managed, the most critical aspect remains to control the apps on the device without hampering the user experience. And this is exactly when Windows kiosk mode comes into play.
When a Windows 10 device is configured as a kiosk, but instead of locking the device to a single application, the device is configured with multiple apps pertinent to work or learning, it can be termed as a Windows 10 multi-app kiosk mode.
