Hi David_Swenson

This value is the AUMID (Application User Model ID) for the app you wish to set.

To help you retrieve AUMIDs, you can refer to this article: Find the Application User Model ID of an installed app | Microsoft Learn. For example, the AUMID for Paint would be something like Microsoft.Paint_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App or the Microsoft 365 (Office) app would be Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.MicrosoftOfficeHub.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richard

Thanks Richard! It seems to be working after first launch of the key (once policy via Intune is applied). The behavior our team has experienced is that it launches the Copilot for Windows app first and then proceeds to launch the Microsoft 365 (Office) app after the first attempt. Is there any way to clean this up? We do not want to remove the Windows Copilot app from our managed devices as we allow personal usage (with MAM restrictions in place).
