Organization may want to set up special purpose devices, such as a device in the lobby that customers can use to view product catalogs, or a device displaying visual content as a digital sign. Windows client offers two different locked-down experiences for public or specialized use:

### Kiosk
Runs a single Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application 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 launches automatically. If the kiosk app is closed, it will automatically restart

### Restricted user experience
runs one or more applications from the desktop. People using the kiosk see a customized Start menu that shows only the apps that are allowed to execute. With this approach, you can configure a locked-down experience for different account types

## Kiosk
A single-app kiosk is ideal for public use. Using [Shell Launcher](kiosk-shelllauncher.md), you can configure a kiosk device that runs a Windows desktop application as the user interface. The application that you specify replaces the default shell (explorer.exe) that usually runs when a user signs in. This type of single-app kiosk doesn't run above the lock screen.
