The Settings app introduces support for managing apps and a number of other fixes and enhancements.<\/p>\n<h2>Multi-app kiosk mode<\/h2>\n<p>Starting on Windows 11 build 25169, &#8220;multi-app kiosk mode&#8221; is a lockdown feature that allows an administrator to allow only a set of apps to run on the computer while all other functionalities are blocked. The feature enables the creation of multiple apps and access configurations for different user types.<\/p>\n<p>Using this mode, you can limit access to the Settings app, except for selected pages (for example, Wi-Fi and screen brightness), lock down the Start menu to show only allowed apps, and Block toasts and pop-ups that lead to unwanted interfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft targets the &#8220;multi-app kiosk mode&#8221; for frontline workers, retail scenarios, education, and test-taking.<\/p>\n<p>In this release, multi-app kiosk mode can be enabled using PowerShell and WMI Bridge, with support for Intune\/MDM and provisioning package configuration coming soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Spotlight for desktop<\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s now possible to enable Windows Spotlight through the option available on the Themes settings page.
