Hi, you don't need any third party software. Ensure you have the right microsoft license. Then you need to carry out the following from your intune portal;
Process
- Log in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
- Navigate to Configuration Profiles: Go to Devices > Configuration profiles.
- Click Create profile and select "Windows 10 and later" as the platform.
- Select "Templates with Custom" as the profile type.
- Under "Configuration settings", add a new setting using the OMA-URI related to "App Control for Business".
- Within the App Control settings, specify the list of approved applications (including browsers) that users are allowed to install.
- Choose "Block" as the enforcement level to prevent users from installing any other applications not on the approved list.
Hope this answers you question.
