Hello,

Did you install all Windows Updates on that machine?
If not you may do all updates and check again.
Is there any anti-virus application installed?
In case it is you may check its configuration and make sure that it doesn’t block SiteKiosk (or even check again after uninstalling the anti-virus application – just for testing).

If that doesn’t help please send the SiteKiosk configuration (…\SiteKiosk\Config\YourConfig.skcfg) and the file “SiteKioskNG.log” from the folder “C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Temp” ([User Name] = the Windows user you started SiteKiosk within) as ZIP to
support-europe(at)provisio.com
Please also provide the information at which date & time you tried to start SiteKiosk with Chrome Browser Skin and which “small customizations” were done on this system.

Hi,

Yes, I re-checked today that I have all Microsoft patches installed. The "small customization" that we have in our Windows image is that we have some MS default Appx (mail, store etc) removed.

I also installed today out-of-box Windows 10 1709 Enterprise version and I have same issue there.

There is no 3rd party AntiVirus installed. There is Microsoft Defender.

I'll send log files via email within few minutes.

Hello,

I will wait for the files then.

As SiteKiosk is generally tested and supported with Windows 10 (see system requirements: https://www.provisio.com/en-GB/helpconsole/SiteKiosk%20Help/en-US/default.htm?system_requirements.htm) you may also verify that you are using the latest SiteKiosk version.

I just sent log files. Note that configuration used is very simple.
There was basically nothing in log files. Note that when SiteKioks hangs, you have to take restart in Order to recover situation.

Hello,

As we are in contact via e-mail now I will close this request.
General note for other customers:
When using the MSI installer of SiteKiosk (e.g. via SCCM) you need to make sure the required .NET or Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version is installed before installing SiteKiosk.
Also see this FAQ:
https://www.provisio.com/en-GB/CustomerSupportCenter/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=16176

Generally there is no known issue with installing SiteKiosk on supported operating systems.
Before you install please download the latest version and check the system requirements.
You may also check the .NET installation and make sure it is up to date.
