This article applies to MetaDefender Kiosk version 4.8.0 and later.
Overview
Starting from version 4.8.0, MetaDefender Kiosk introduces a configuration option that allows administrators to disable the Welcome Screen.
This helps streamline the user experience by skipping the initial screen and taking users directly to the media detection prompt.
Why Disable the Welcome Screen?
Disabling the Welcome Screen can be useful in environments where:
- Users are already familiar with the workflow
- Faster interaction is required (e.g., high-traffic kiosks)
- The initial instructions are not necessary
How to Disable the Welcome Screen
- Go to the Configuration tab (left sidebar)
- Navigate to the Kiosk UI tab
- Locate the Kiosk Interface section
- Untick the option for displaying the Welcome Screen

Behavior After Disabling
Once disabled:
- The Welcome Screen will no longer appear
- Users will be taken directly to the media detection prompt
- The scanning workflow becomes faster and more streamlined
