Troubleshooting Issues

UI

With some high resolution touch screens, click events from a mouse are not registered if the Scale and Layout display setting is set to greater than 100%. Workaround is to hold the right mouse button to ensure the left button click is respected

Physical Input Devices

Customers have reported some localization issues with older versions of Windows 10 and physical input devices (e.g. keyboard, mouse, etc...). If you experience these issues, please try updating the system to see if it resolves the issue. If the issue persists, please contact Customer Support.

Joining a Hardware Kiosk to a domain

In some cases, joining a Kiosk to a domain will fail. The Netlogon service fails to start with error: "Windows could not start the Netlogon service on Local Computer. Error 1058...". Verify if any recent network settings have been modified. Restart the system to ensure network setting changes have been correctly applied and the Netlogon service can start as expected.

Core Hardware Requirements Warning on Kiosk Mobile

On Kiosk Mobile hardware, MetaDefender Core (the scanning engine Kiosk uses) may display a warning that the system's hardware does not meet the minimum requirements. This typically appears after activating the Core license, and is often triggered by having a large number of anti-malware engine packages installed, which increases the hardware resources Core needs.

This warning reflects Core's own minimum system requirements check and is expected behavior when a device's hardware or engine configuration falls below Core's recommended specifications — it does not indicate a problem with Kiosk itself, and it cannot be suppressed.

If you see this warning:

A small indicator may also remain visible in the Core console's notification area after the warning first appears — this is expected and does not indicate an ongoing or worsening issue.
