Some desktop devices in an enterprise serve a special purpose. For example, a PC in the lobby that customers use to see your product catalog. Or, a PC displaying visual content as a digital sign. Windows client offers two different locked-down experiences for public or specialized use:
- **A single-app kiosk**: Runs a single Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app in full screen above the lock screen. People using the kiosk can see only that app. When the kiosk account (a local standard user account) signs in, the kiosk app will launch automatically, and you can configure the kiosk account to sign in automatically as well. If the kiosk app is closed, it will automatically restart.

- **A multi-app kiosk**: Runs one or more apps from the desktop. People using the kiosk see a customized Start that shows only the tiles for the apps that are allowed. With this approach, you can configure a locked-down experience for different account types.

A multi-app kiosk is appropriate for devices that are shared by multiple people. When you configure a multi-app kiosk, [specific policies are enforced](kiosk-policies.md) that will affect **all** non-administrator users on the device.
