Support Request: SiteKiosk seems to be restarting

Description

Hi,

We seem to have an issue where running a youtube video (training content), it will run for about 2 minutes, then 'crash' out to the white safe like screen and then brings up the initial SiteKiosk desktop. The PC has been fully patched to latest Windows 11 patches, it's been restarted, it's been powered off, cache has been cleaned.

This is all we can see from the logs, talking about pinger and lost PID. The log file is set to EVERYTHING. I can't see anything in the Windows Event Logs that would indicate an app crash or other issues.

Do you have any idea why, it only started on 9/7/26, before the latest windows updates.

Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. No information could be gained from your logs alone. This issue is not with embedding YouTube videos on your website but possible new features on your website which cause this issue while you are doing so. Your website has a login page which prevents further exploration. You can share these files with us at support-america(at)sitekiosk.com :
- Configuration - C:\Program Files (x86)\SiteKiosk\Config (*.skcfg files, ignore *.skcfg.local)

- A zip file of SiteKioskNG.log - C:\Users\<your running user>\AppData\Local\Temp (generates when SiteKiosk runs.)

Hi,

To recreate the issue, start up the Kiosk. Then you need to start Donesafe, which is a portal for our training site. you will need to log into Donesafe, but obvious you won't have an account. Donesafe runs the training/compliance videos from our youtube account. Depending on what happens, the first few times after a full system restart, it works, and then it starts to run for about 2 minutes and this 'crashes' out and restarts the Kiosk portal.
