    Windows App Management in Microsoft Intune

    Take command of your full app layer in Microsoft Intune. Audit every managed and unmanaged app per device with full metadata — publisher, architecture, disk size, install location, uninstall command — to expose shadow IT before it spreads. Pull curated Win32 apps straight from the Enterprise App Catalog or upload PowerShell .ps1 scripts to control exactly how each app installs. Stage rollouts in rings with Deployment Plans, pause or cancel any deployment in flight, and auto-trust every app you push using App Control for Business with Managed Installer — extending the same trust to new device builds with Autopilot, now up to 25 apps. Keep your fleet current automatically as vendors publish new versions through the Enterprise App Catalog, or trigger updates on demand from the Guided Upgrade Supersedence report. Nicole Zhao, Microsoft Intune Product Manager, shares how to put these built-in enhancements to work across every managed device. *Intune Deployments is currently in private preview. Capabilities shown are subject to change and not yet generally available.
