Using Shell Launcher, you can configure a kiosk device that runs an application as the user interface, replacing the default shell (explorer.exe). In Shell Launcher v1, available in Windows 10, version 1809 and earlier, you could only specify a Windows desktop application as the replacement shell. In Shell Launcher v2, available in the next feature update to Windows 10, you can also specify a UWP app as the replacement shell.

## Differences between Shell Launcher v1 and Shell Launcher v2
Shell Launcher v1 replaces `explorer.exe`, the default shell, with `eshell.exe` which can launch a Windows desktop application.
Shell Launcher v2 replaces `explorer.exe` with `customshellhost.exe`. This new executable file can launch a Windows desktop application or a UWP app.
If you are experienced using XML to configure Shell Launcher, you will use a different schema reference and app type in `Shell`, as shown in the following v2 example.
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ShellLauncherConfiguration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ShellLauncher/2018/Configuration"
