Setting Up Your Windows Mini PCs in Kiosk Mode

This help doc walks you through setting up a mini PC as a digital signage kiosk for Juuno.

1) Get your PC ready (Windows)

• Finish the basic Windows setup.

• Set the screen and PC to never automatically turn off.

• Turn off any screen savers.

• Enable Remote Desktop if you want to manage it remotely.

• Allow access to *.juuno.co on ports 80/443 in Windows and your network firewall.

2) Create a Juuno shortcut that opens in fullscreen

1. Find your browser (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox).

2. Create a shortcut (for example, in your Documents folder).

3. Edit the shortcut so it opens Juuno in kiosk/full screen mode. For Chrome, set the Target field to:

   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk "https://d.juuno.co" --start-fullscreen

3) Make Juuno start automatically when Windows starts

1. Press Windows Key + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter.

   

2. You should see a file explorer window - it will likely be empty. Copy the shortcut you just made in there and close the window.

4) Enable automatic login

This lets the PC sign in by itself after a restart and launch Juuno without anyone touching it.

1. Press Windows Key + R, type regedit, press Enter.

   

2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

3. Add (if you don't see it) or update these values:

   • AutoAdminLogon = 1

   • DefaultUserName = your Windows username

   • DefaultPassword = your Windows password

   

   Optional: If the machine is domain-joined create another key called DefaultDomainName and enter your domain e.g. abc.com  

   

4. Close the Registry Editor.

5) Restart and you're done

After restart, the PC will log in and launch Juuno in full screen automatically.
