You can use nwjs. Near nwjs.exe create package.json with next options:
{
"main": "<web app url>",
"name": "kiosk example",
"description": "kiosk example",
"version": "0.0.1",
"window": {
"toolbar": false,
"frame": false,
"resizable": false,
"show": true,
"kiosk": true,
"title": "kiosk example"
},
"webkit": {
"plugin": true
},
"chromium-args": "--force-gpu-rasterization"
}
Also, I recommend you to create kiosk user and set nwjs.exe as shell for this user. Windows 7 and early:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\nwjs.exe>"
Windows 8 and later:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"Shell"="C:\\full\\path\\to\\nwjs.exe>"
