System Startup Checks

The following system requirements are automatically verified by the ADAM Lockdown Browser. If a device fails one of these checks, a summary of the issue is displayed on screen, and when possible, the user will have an opportunity to resolve it. For example, if the Lockdown Browser detects that a device has two monitors, an alert will be displayed on screen with instructions with the option for the user to unplug one monitor and then click Retry to rerun the checks. Similar notifications are provided if the user has a low battery level and is not plugged in to a power outlet. 

Warning messages that may display on the screen do not prevent the application from starting.
