Windows 10 Pro Kiosk With Edge - How To Skip Print Dialog
To configure a Windows 10 Pro kiosk with Microsoft Edge and skip the print dialog, you can follow these steps:
Set Up a Kiosk Account: Create a new user account that will be used specifically for the kiosk mode. Set the account type as "Standard User."
Configure Assigned Access: Enable Assigned Access to restrict the kiosk account to a single application. Open the "Settings" app, go to "Accounts," and then select "Family & other users." Under "Other users," click on "Set up assigned access" and follow the prompts to assign the kiosk account to Microsoft Edge.
Disable Print Dialog: Open the registry editor by pressing Windows key + R, then typing
regedit
, and hitting Enter. Navigate to the following registry key:cssHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main
If the
Main
key does not exist, create it. Right-click on the "Main" key, select "New," and then choose "DWORD (32-bit) Value." Name the new valueDisablePrintPreview
and set its value to1
.Restart the System: Restart the computer to apply the changes.
After following these steps, the kiosk account will be locked down to use only Microsoft Edge as the assigned application. When printing from Edge, the print dialog will be skipped, and the default printer settings will be used.
Note: Modifying the registry can have unintended consequences and may cause system instability if done incorrectly. It's recommended to create a backup of the registry or consult with an IT professional before making any changes.
