If you need to set up a kiosk device for your organization, event, or home, in this guide I'll show you how. Windows 11 Do this. Kiosk mode in Windows 11 is a legacy feature that turns a regular device into a special-purpose machine that runs just one app. It's typically used to set up a computer as a kiosk for guests to access the internet, fill out forms, or display content like product demos or commercials.
