Kiosk Mode not enabling
HI All,
I'm currently trying to setup an offline WMS server for a bunch of our thin clients (Wyse 5070 running windows 10 IoT)
Ive enabled the the setting within the WES policy and set a few settings for the kiosk mode, for example, an IE window with a citrix URL but once the policies have been deployed to a test device it says that the kiosk mode is now being managed by the management server but doesn't apply any of my settings.
Has any one else seen this or am i missing something obvious

Enabling Windows 10 Kiosk Mode or Assigned Access is as easy as creating a new local user account without the security questions. Just follow the below steps and you’ll be golden.
1. To start off, open the Settings by searching for it in the start menu. You can also press the keyboard shortcut Win + I.
2. In the Settings app, go to “Accounts -> Family & other users” page. On the right panel, click on the “Assigned access” option under “Set up a kiosk” section.
3. You will be taken to the Kiosk configuration page. Here, click on the “Get Started” button.
4. In the fly-out screen, name the Kiosk account. You can think of it as a username. The name will appear in the start menu and on the lock screen. In my case, I’m naming the Kiosk account as “WindowsLoop Guest Browsing”.
5. In the next screen, choose the app you want to use in the Kiosk mode. In my case, since I want my users to be able to browse the internet. So, I’m choosing Microsoft Edge app. You can choose any app you want.
6. If you’ve selected Microsoft Edge browser like me then you will see additional options to configure. First, you will be asked whether you want other users to browse the internet, if yes, then select “As a public browser”. If just want a single web page to be shown in the browser then select “As a digital sign or interactive display” option. Click on the “Next” button to continue.
7. In the next screen, enter the URL of the homepage and set the interval when the Edge browser will reset to the homepage. Click on the “Next” button to continue.
8. Now, click on the “Close” button and you are done creating the Kiosk Mode in Windows 10 and setting up the Assigned Access.
This may help you,

Thank you for your reply, whilst I can get the kiosk mode working locally on the device using the dell Wyse easy shell, what I'm trying to achieve is that the Wyse management server can set this up for me rather than need to goto each device to set it up.
I can see the option to do this from within the policy settings on the Wyse management server but when i enable the setting and configure it, when I then deploy it to my device it doesn't take the settings even though other things I have set such as time server and monitor settings work
Any ideas?
