Answer 1

To do this, you would need to work with the registry, specifically go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell

Create a key called EdgeUI, then add a DWORD value named DisableCharmsHint, with the value of 1. You can either do the registry modification in-app or from outside the application, given that it might be a kiosk of some sorts.
