So I changed from using Chrome as a Kiosk for Humanforce clocking to using Edge (because who wants to install another browser when Edge is also Chromium based)
This is the command I run in a shell:startup batch file to get a full screen session of Edge which will hold the settings and allow pressing F11 to get out of full screen mode
@START "Humanforce Kiosk" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe " --profile-directory=Default --start-fullscreen https://myclient.humanforce.com
One problem I came across was I kept launching Edge using my batch file and it keep going into the normal window mode showing the location bar instead of full screen. To actually get the --start-fullscreen option to stick I had to go into settings and search for "boot" and disable Startup Boot
--kiosk disables F11 to exit full screen
adding --profile-directory=Default and --kiosk stops it using an inPrivate session, but you loose the ability to exit fullscreen with F11
but adding --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen makes it always use an inPrivate session so you can't use any save settings each session forgets it's cookies
@echo off
@ECHO Humanforce Program files Loading. Please be patient.......
@call timeout /t 3 /nobreak > nul
@START "Humanforce Kiosk" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe " --profile-directory=Default --start-fullscreen https://myclient.humanforce.com
