The Windows 11 Insider Build 25169 has the new multi-app Kiosk mode, which is a new lockdown feature for the IT admins. This will allow them to allow certain apps on the device, while other functionalities will be restricted. For instance, access to Settings can be blocked, except for a few ones and the Start app can only include the allowed apps, among more scenarios.

The functionality will allow the creation of different apps and configurations for different users and can be helpful for business and education purposes.

An update for Windows Spotlight suggests that users can now enable the feature via the new Themes section under the Personalization Settings directly. Windows Spotlight is a feature that changes the background images daily. Additionally, users can make custom themes with Windows Spotlight’s rotating images.
