I am building a kiosk device (Win10 1803 Enterprise) using Shell Launcher to make Internet Explorer running in kiosk mode the shell. When the device restarts with IE running, a 2nd instance of IE not in kiosk mode starts when logging in again. It simply attempts to go to the home page.

I have tried to disable ARSO but it doesn't work. I have added

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableAutomaticRestartSignOn to the registry as a DWORD with a value of 1.

Still, I get that 2nd instance of IE.

If I leave the task manager running when I reboot, it too restarts at next logon.

This happens to all users who log onto the device and it doesn't matter if the shell is explorer.exe or eshell.exe.

Is there another way I should be disabling ARSO?
