How to run Chrome in Kiosk mode WITHOUT explorer.exe running

[Joe Dickerson]

I've googled everywhere and I can't seem to find an answer!  I am currently running windows 8.1 on a HTPC and use XBMC (Kodi) as my frontend.  I use XBMC as my shell and everytime I go to run a kiosk mode window it does not load in kiosk mode.  If I start explorer and attempt to run a kiosk window it works fine.  So, I've been trying and trying and finding no luck other than how to pull my hair out.  Last night I was messing around with somethings and I noticed if I launch youtube.com/leanback without explorer running that it DOES load kiosk mode (or maybe it's just fullscreen mode which is fine as well) so it IS possible!!  How could I get this to work?

You can search crbug.com for an existing issue and star it. If you cannot find one, file a new issue using the "New issue" link on the same page.

Please, do not add a "+1" or "Me too" or "Confirmed" (or similar) comment. It just wastes the time of Chrome engineers and sends unnecessary e-mails to all of the people who starred the issue.

You can reply with a link to the found or created issue and might get triaged (and fixed) faster.

Thank you.

I'll be honest, my problem is not worth jumping through the hoops I'm going through for a simple question.  I have to say these google discussion groups are the worst "forums" to navigate.  Thanks for your time.
