Why each option
A Guest account is the appropriate choice for a kiosk because it has minimal permissions by default, supports automatic login without a password, and restricts users to limited system access.
The Guest account in Windows is a built-in limited account that can be configured for automatic login without a password, does not allow users to install software or change system settings, and provides the restricted environment needed for a kiosk application while meeting both the security and auto-login requirements.
An Administrator account has full system privileges, meaning users could alter system settings, install software, or access sensitive areas - the opposite of a secure kiosk environment.
A Power User account (legacy in modern Windows) has elevated privileges above a standard user and would grant kiosk users more system access than necessary or appropriate.
A Remote Desktop User account is designed to grant permission to connect via Remote Desktop Protocol and is not intended for managing local interactive kiosk sessions or auto-login.
