# Browser support
Today, you can use two browsers, Internet Explorer 11 and [Microsoft Edge](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode) to create an assigned access single-app or multi-app kiosk experience.
## Microsoft Edge Kiosk Mode
> Available for LTSC starting in [Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC](/windows/iot/iot-enterprise/whats-new/Windows-10-IoT-Enterprise-LTSC-2021)
[Microsoft Edge kiosk mode](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode) offers two lockdown experiences of the browser so organizations can create, manage, and provide the best experience for their customers. The following lockdown experiences are available:
* Digital/Interactive Signage experience - Displays a specific site in full-screen mode.
* Public-Browsing experience - Runs a limited multi-tab version of Microsoft Edge.
Both experiences are running a Microsoft Edge InPrivate session, which protects user data.
## Internet Explorer 11
[Internet Explorer 11](/internet-explorer/internet-explorer) is considered a legacy browser, in subsequent releases.
In anticipation of that, you can use [Internet Explorer (IE) mode](/deployedge/edge-ie-mode) on Microsoft Edge. IE mode allows you to run legacy web apps and modern web apps in a single browser.
> [!NOTE]
> For in-support Windows 10 IoT Enterprise [Semi-Annual Channel (SAC) releases](/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise), Internet Explorer 11 will reach end of support on June 15, 2022.
>
> Internet Explorer 11 follows the Long-Term-Servicing-Channel (LTSC) Lifecycle for [Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC](/lifecycle/products/?terms=Windows%2010%20IoT%20Enterprise%20LTSC) products.
## Supported Versions
| Browser | Internet Explorer 11 | Microsoft Edge Legacy | Microsoft Edge |
|--|--|--|--|
| OS Release | [IE11 App](/internet-explorer/internet-explorer) | [Edge Browser - Legacy](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-kiosk-mode-transition-plan) | [New Edge Browser](/deployedge/microsoft-edge-configure-kiosk-mode) |
| Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2019 | [Follows OS Release Support Lifecycle](/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2019) | No browser security updates after March, 9, 2021 (removed where applicable). In-box engine supported until OS end of service | Microsoft Edge and WebView2 Runtime not in-box (requires app migration from EdgeHTML) |
| Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, version 21H2 | End of support June 15, 2022 | Removed & replaced with New Microsoft Edge Browser in May 2021 Update | Included in-box or installed with May 2021 Update |
| Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 | [Follows OS Release Support Lifecycle](/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021) | Not included | Microsoft Edge included in-box and follows [Modern Lifecycle Policy](/lifecycle/policies/modern) |
| Windows 11 IoT Enterprise | N/A | N/A | Microsoft Edge included in-box and follows [Modern Lifecycle Policy](/lifecycle/policies/modern) |

# Kiosk mode
Windows IoT Enterprise allows you to build fixed purpose devices such as ATM machines, point-of-sale terminals, medical devices, digital signs, or kiosks. Kiosk mode helps you create a dedicated and locked down user experience on these fixed purpose devices. Windows IoT Enterprise offers a set of different locked-down experiences for public or specialized use: *assigned access single-app kiosks*, *assigned access multi-app kiosks*, or *shell launcher*.
Kiosk configurations are based upon either [assigned access](../assigned-access/index.md) or [shell launcher](index.md). There are several kiosk configuration methods that you can choose from, depending on your answers to the following questions.
> [!NOTE]
>
> A benefit of using an assigned access kiosk mode is [these policies](/windows/configuration/kiosk-policies) are automatically applied to the device to optimize the lock-down experience.
## Which type of app will your kiosk run?
Your kiosk can run a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app or a Windows desktop application. For [digital signage](/windows/configuration/setup-digital-signage), select a digital sign player as your kiosk app. Check out the [Guidelines for Kiosk Apps](/windows/configuration/guidelines-for-assigned-access-app).
## Which type of kiosk do you need?
If you want your kiosk to run a single app for anyone to see or use, consider an [assigned-access single-app kiosk](/windows/configuration/shell-launcher/single-app-kiosk) that runs either a [Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app](/windows/configuration/kiosk-methods#uwp) or a [Windows desktop application](/windows/configuration/kiosk-methods#classic).
For a kiosk that people can sign in to with their accounts or that runs more than one app, consider an [assigned access multi-app kiosk](/windows/configuration/kiosk-methods#desktop).
## Which type of user account will be the kiosk account?
The kiosk account can be a local standard user account, a domain account, or an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account, depending on the method that you use to configure the kiosk. If you want people to sign in and authenticate on the device, you should use an assigned access multi-app kiosk configuration. The assigned access single-app kiosk configuration doesn't require people to sign in to the device, although they can sign in to the kiosk app if you select an app that has a sign-in method.
## Kiosk capabilities for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
| Mode | Features | Description | Customer Usage |
|------|----------|------------ |-----------------|
| Assigned access | Single-app kiosk (UWP) | Auto launches a UWP app in full screen and prevents access to other system functions, while monitoring the lifecycle of the kiosk app. Only supports one single-app kiosk profile under one account per device. | Digital signs & single function devices|
| Assigned access | Single-app kiosk (Microsoft Edge) | Auto launches Microsoft Edge and prevents access to other system functions, while monitoring the lifecycle of browser. Only supports one single-app kiosk profile under one account per device. | Public browsing kiosks & digital signs |
| Assigned access | Multi-app kiosk (Restricted User Experience) | Windows 10: Always auto launches a restricted Start menu in full screen with the list of allowed app tiles. <br/> Windows 11: Presents the familiar Windows desktop experience with a restricted set of apps. | Frontline Worker shared devices |
| Shell launcher | Shell launcher | Auto launches an app that the customer specifies and monitors the lifecycle of this app. App can be used as a "shell" if desired. No default lockdown policies like hotkey blocking are enforced in Shell Launcher. | Fixed purpose devices with a custom shell experience |
