Does anyone here administer Windows 10 Touchscreen Public Facing Kiosks?
-
Seems that M$ didnt make this easy for me. We have a "Patient Sign In" touchscreen available in our Lobby. Im having a horrible time trying to disable the taskview and action center that come up when you swipe from the left or right. We have IE in Kiosk mode.
Anyone have any pointers or suggestions for this?

I'm no help to your discussion, but we're going to be doing something similar soon with iPads.

ewww good luck. We have a handful of iPads here for individualized testing and it is no fun to try to secure them when it is such a small deployment

We've actually had pretty good success with an app called Kiosk Pro and then using Guided Access.

Apple configurator profile should do this pretty easily.

I'll have to commandeer a Mac.

I have an older Mac at home I use for the kids so they can learn multi OSes) and also teaching myself anything Mac related.
But ML has taught me, business need, business purchase!

I ended up using WinAero Skip Metro Suite to disable most of the side swipes.
http://winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.103I am still having an issue disabling Touchscreen Pinch To Zoom in IE. Anyone have any ideas? All of my previous solutions for Win7 dont work (darn windows 10!!!)
I am thinking about making a code change since this is an internal page (ms-touch-action is deprecated for touch-action, I reviewed the documentation and it seems to be functionally similar)- {
-ms-touch-action: none;
-ms-content-zooming: none;
}
What i've tried:
- HKCU & HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Internet Explorer>Zoom>ZoomDisabled =1
- User/Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>Internet Explorer>Turn off page zooming functionality>Enabled
All of the solutions I have found online are in reference to a touchpad. Currently, I am going through the registry attempting to identify the key that holds the touchscreen driver information, JIC that has something useful in it.
Any ideas?

Yeah, I have the same thing when using their browser WITHOUT the touch interface. It still does that all of the time!

Disabling pinch zoom in the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control:
- Launch the Windows registry editor
- Navigate to “HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerZoom” (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE works also).
- Create a DWORD value named “ZoomDisabled” and set it’s value to 1.
- Restart your kiosk application

@scottalanmiller ive tried that and it didnt work. Hrmm - I see something that may have been missed. Im not sure we are opening IE in Kiosk mode. Ill check
-
@scottalanmiller unfortunately even running IE in Kiosk mode does not stop the ability to pinch zoom. Keyboard and mouse zoom were already disabled

You might have to disable gestures entirely (as in multi touch)... still checking some stuff
EDIT: Not looking good. You could disable the double tap gesture but that might make administering the kiosk a pain (if using the touchscreen).
A lot of people reckon the registry option is a go, but this article says:According to my testing this only seems to disable pinch-zoom for my kiosk application (which uses the Internet Explorer WebBrowser Control) but does not disable pinch-zoom in the native Internet Explorer web browser
Apparently, Chrome can do it (disable pinch zoom)... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22999829/disable-chrome-pinch-zoom-for-use-in-kiosk
