Just from the internet. On PC chrome has the start option -kiosk. So create a shortcut with the options described below and place it in Windows Autostart, if required.

You can use any website in the following command: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” -kiosk https://praxistipps.chip.de/ --overscroll-history-navigation=0
Google Chrome only starts in kiosk mode if no other Chrome window was previously open. To exit kiosk mode, use the key combination [Alt] + [F4].

Hi @Hemingway ,

Our Windows-based IPCs and HMIs have the “Shell Launcher / Custom Shell” feature. Here it is possible to start a specific program (Chrome in the example) with a parameter at startup. The desktop or similar is not loaded first, but only the selected program.

If help is needed or there is interest, I can provide a few examples.

You can simply use our free Electron Kiosk Browser Builder you can download from https://www.smart-hmi.com/user/download/deliver/xmp/Additional%20Software/webiq-kiosk-browser-builde...

This will build a customized Chromium-based browser using ElectronJS and it will also automatically reload your HMI in case an error occurs.
