# Use Shell Launcher to create a Windows client kiosk
Using Shell Launcher, you can configure a device that runs an application as the user interface, replacing the default shell (explorer.exe). In **Shell Launcher v1**, available in Windows client, you can only specify a Windows desktop application as the replacement shell. In **Shell Launcher v2**, available in Windows 10 version 1809+ / Windows 11, you can also specify a UWP app as the replacement shell. To use **Shell Launcher v2** in Windows 10 version 1809, you need to install the [KB4551853](https://support.microsoft.com/help/4551853) update.
Shell Launcher is a Windows feature that can enable a device to execute an application as the user interface, replacing the default shell (`explorer.exe`).
>[!NOTE]
>Shell Launcher controls which application the user sees as the shell after sign-in. It does not prevent the user from accessing other desktop applications and system components.
