Agent Setup Guide

Get a gaming PC locked down right.

Installing the client is the easy part. This covers pairing it to a Device, setting a technician PIN before it locks you out of your own settings, and what every kiosk toggle actually does.

Chapter 5 · On the PC itself

Turn on kiosk and security features

From any screen on a paired client, press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+A, enter the PIN from Chapter 4, and you're on Technician Settings.

First, pick a mode:

  • Development: every security feature off, dev shortcuts active. What a fresh install stays in until you change it.
  • Production: security features actually take effect. This is what a real floor PC should run.

In Production mode, the Security Features section has six switches:

Kiosk Mode

Fullscreen, always-on-top, can't be closed during a session.

Block Keyboard Shortcuts

Blocks Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, Ctrl+Esc, and the other usual ways out.

Block Task Manager

Registry-based, HKCU only. Restored automatically if the app ever exits uncleanly.

Auto-Restart (Watchdog)

A separate background process that relaunches the client if it's killed.

Hide Taskbar

Same HKCU-only, auto-restore approach as blocking Task Manager.

Start on Boot

A Windows startup entry, independent of the watchdog above, so either can be on without the other.

Note

Turn features on one at a time and test between each. Don't flip all six at once on your first machine. If Kiosk Mode locks you out somewhere unexpected, the panic key in the next chapter always gets you back out.

Click Apply & Restart when you're done. The client relaunches to actually apply the changes.
