AccountManagement

Use these settings to configure settings for accounts allowed on the shared PC.

Setting	Value	Description
AccountModel	- Only guest - Domain-joined only - Domain-joined and guest	This option controls how users can sign-in on the PC. Choosing domain-joined will enable any user in the domain to sign-in. Specifying the guest option will add the Guest option to the sign-in screen and enable anonymous guest access to the PC. - Only guest allows anyone to use the PC as a local standard (non-admin) account. - Domain-joined only allows users to sign in with an Active Directory or Azure AD account. - Domain-joined and guest allows users to sign in with an Active Directory, Azure AD, or local standard account.
DeletionPolicy	- Delete immediately - Delete at disk space threshold - Delete at disk space threshold and inactive threshold	- Delete immediately will delete the account on sign-out. - Delete at disk space threshold will start deleting accounts when available disk space falls below the threshold you set for DiskLevelDeletion, and it will stop deleting accounts when the available disk space reaches the threshold you set for DiskLevelCaching. Accounts are deleted in order of oldest accessed to most recently accessed. - Delete at disk space threshold and inactive threshold will apply the same disk space checks as noted above, but also delete accounts if they have not signed in within the number of days specified by InactiveThreshold
DiskLevelCaching	A number between 0 and 100	If you set DeletionPolicy to Delete at disk space threshold, set the percent of total disk space to be used as the disk space threshold for account caching.
DiskLevelDeletion	A number between 0 and 100	If you set DeletionPolicy to Delete at disk space threshold, set the percent of total disk space to be used as the disk space threshold for account deletion.
EnableAccountManager	True or false	Set as True to enable automatic account management. If this is not set to true, no automatic account management will be done.
InactiveThreshold	Number	If you set DeletionPolicy to Delete at disk space threshold and inactive threshold, set the number of days after which an account that has not signed in will be deleted.
KioskModeAUMID	String	Set an Application User Model ID (AUMID) to enable the kiosk account on the sign-in screen. A new account will be created and will use assigned access to only run the app specified by the AUMID. Note that the app must be installed on the PC. Set the name of the account using KioskModeUserTileDisplayText, or a default name will be used. Find the Application User Model ID of an installed app
KioskModeUserTileDisplayText	String	Sets the display text on the kiosk account if KioskModeAUMID has been set.

EnableSharedPCMode

Set as True. If this is not set to True, shared PC mode is not turned on and none of the other settings apply. This setting controls this API: IsEnabled.

Some of the remaining settings in SharedPC are optional, but we strongly recommend that you also set EnableAccountManager to True.

PolicyCustomization

Use these settings to configure policies for shared PC mode.

Setting	Value	Description
MaintenanceStartTime	A number between 0 and 1440	By default, the maintenance start time (which is when automatic maintenance tasks run, such as Windows Update) is midnight. You can adjust the start time in this setting by entering a new start time in minutes from midnight. For example, if you want maintenance to begin at 2 AM, enter 120 as the value.
MaxPageFileSizeMB	A number between 1024 and 2048	Adjusts the maximum page file size in MB. This can be used to fine-tune page file behavior, especially on low end PCs.
RestrictLocalStorage	True or false	Set as True to restrict the user from saving or viewing local storage when using File Explorer. This setting controls this API: ShouldAvoidLocalStorage
SetEduPolicies	True or false	Set to True for PCs that will be used in a school. For more information, see Windows 10 configuration recommendations for education customers. This setting controls this API: IsEducationEnvironment
SetPowerPolicies	True or false	When set as True: - Prevents users from changing power settings - Turns off hibernate - Overrides all power state transitions to sleep (e.g. lid close)
SignInOnResume	True or false	This setting specifies if the user is required to sign in with a password when the PC wakes from sleep.
SleepTimeout	Number	Specifies all timeouts for when the PC should sleep. Enter the amount of idle time in seconds. If you don't set sleep timeout, the default of 1 hour applies.
