How do I set up the Assigned Access in Windows 10 Pro?

Assigned Access is a feature in Windows 10 Pro that allows you to restrict a user account to a single app or a set of apps, effectively turning your device into a kiosk for a specific purpose. This is particularly useful for businesses or organizations that want to provide limited access to their devices. Follow the steps below to set up Assigned Access in Windows 10 Pro.

Step 1: Create a New User Account

1. Open Settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings (the gear icon).
2. Go to Accounts: In the Settings window, click on Accounts.
3. Select Family & other users: On the left pane, choose Family & other users.
4. Add a User: Click on Add someone else to this PC.
5. Select “I don’t have this person’s sign-in information”: Follow the prompts to create a new local user account by selecting Add a user without a Microsoft account.
6. Fill in User Details: Enter a username and password for the new account, then click Next.

Step 2: Enable Assigned Access
