I just reinstalled BI on a newer PC (a HP EliteDesk Mini G6) as my old one died. This one has win11 Pro installed, and I'd like to use Kiosk mode(*), but I guess thats only supported for UWP apps, which BI isn't. I can't use the ShellLauncher as I have Windows Pro, not Enterprise.
Write your own kiosk launcher and set it as system Userinit—that's what I did. With mine, if I log in as Admin, it launches Windows' userinit.exe (which launches explorer.exe) and exits. But if I login as Cameras (which is also set to autologin on boot), it launches Firefox to UI3 in kiosk mode and the interactive camera tiles come up fullscreen instead of the Windows taskbar+desktop.
Alternately, you could just add Firefox (with command line to load UI3 in kiosk mode) to your user startup list and it should come up shortly after the desktop appears. For example:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -kiosk http://127.0.0.1:81/ui3.htm?maximize=1&timeout=0
It won't keep the user from exiting out of the kiosk or bringing other software to focus, but may be sufficient if that's not a concern for you. You can add the command above as a shortcut in the Startup folder, or add it as the string data in a new registry value in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run".
