How to enable Kiosk Mode on Windows 10

On Windows there is guest mode for other people to use your computer, but cannot install the software, change the system. If you want to increase the privacy of your computer, then you can use Kiosk Mode or Assigned Access feature.

This feature will allow the Admin to limit only one account to use, and only use one application or access a single website only. So if other people use your computer, they cannot open any other websites, applications other than the ones you have defaulted. Kiosk Mode is available on Windows 8 Professional version and now Windows 10 1809 can use this mode.
