Abstract
A hook driver and a UWP load modifier can be employed on a Windows device to modify the process of loading UWP applications so that both UWP and Win32 applications can be run in kiosk mode without needing to run Windows Explorer in a typical manner. To accomplish this, the UWP load modifier can implement a proxy function that is called when the UWP loader attempts to launch a UWP application. In some configurations, when the proxy function is called, it can start Windows Explorer, cause the UWP application to be launched while Windows Explorer is running and then stop Windows Explorer once the UWP application is launched. In other configurations, when the proxy function is called, it can cause the UWP application to be launched in a separate desktop in which Windows Explorer is running and then, after it is launched, move the UWP application to the default desktop.
