A WinForms Application "Hello World" in a kind of Kiosk mode

Question
-
It seems an easy question, but till now I cannot find a clear answer.
We are developping a WinForms solution in C# Visual Studio 2019. This solution is dedicated for using on a boat. We don't want people to mess with the pc on the boat and therefor we would like the pc running in a kind of kiosk mode so it keeps clean.
When a WinForms Application "Hello World" can run in a kind of Kiosk mode, then it is also possible for our application.

"Kiosk" mode is a feature of the OS. You need to configure the PC to run in this mode and, I believe, you can tell it which app to run. Your app shouldn't need to change to do anything other that perhaps not having a close button so easily accessible.
You can google for how to run Windows in kiosk mode (I believe also called demo mode). Further help with configuring Windows can be posted over on TechNet.

Hi Dieperzicht,
This is a forum for handling desktop software publication and installation, it does not involve Kiosk mode. I will move it to "where is the forum for" form and the case will be redirected to correct forum.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Daniel Zhang
