It looks pretty standard to me, maybe with the default windows bloatware…

Broken network connection probably led to the app failing to start.

I hope it's not needed to be connected to the internet. It's not like there's 62937 vulnerability that are network based without user interactions on old windows versions, right?

Maybe not the internet, but I’m guessing it needs to be on some kind of network, since they are not replicating ticket data onto each of these kiosks.
