- If we are blocking the winget repository via policy and we have a required Win32 app that is deployed from the store it will install without issue. However based on that last question that was answered, the IME will use winget to update the app? In our scenario does that mean it will not update since the winget repository is blocked? We have noticed this with the popular OBS app. Deployed months ago via Intune still stuck on that version and does not automatically update.
- I just found this page right before Roy talked about the group policy templates: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.10173
Will it be possible to force application updates (in the event of a critical vulnerability) on workstations with non-administrator users? How often are updates checked?

- Will there be an option to deploy private win32 apps with the new store / winget?

It is definitely something we are considering. We don't have any firm plans to share at this time.
Will the new store be integrated with the kiosk profile? As msfb is already intrgrated but then deprecated, first we needed to add apps into the msfb and then we could manage the apps in this profile.

- Some may say it took way too long, but most of us ARE thankful that y'all have finally got some kind of package management going. So, Thanks for all this.
- we have a co-managed environment and currently my 'client apps' workload is NOT enabled for intune. what (if any) implication can I come across switching from Configuration manager to Pilot Intune, do I lose any capabilities deploying applications that are being deployed in MECM?
- if you put in the member collections in the pilot for the client apps workload, I assume you should be able to use both the world, which is what we experience.
- that's what I am assuming as well. Unfortunately I do not have a test environment and I also do not know of the implications if need to switch back to Configuration Mgr. I remember reading somewhere that we cannot fully revert back.
- Apps are getting larger every day. For Intune win32 apps. IME downloads and extracts of the full app package. For Uninstallation it also requires downloading and extraction of the full package. Short of creating a separate smaller win32app to uninstall, is there any plan to allow a secondary .intunewin file be used for uninstall without creating a second Intune app?. eg: a large 20GB installing .intunewin needs to be uninstalled, but the entire 20GB file is downloaded by IME then extracted when just a command or a smaller script will do. Troublesome if insufficient space on client to download the entire original intunewin just to 'uninstall' with a script. Yes a second app or a script could be created elsewhere, but why not build in the ability into the single Intune app?
- You may have already addressed this. If the store is blocked with CSP or Group Policy, can we still deploy store apps from Intune with the available assignment in the Company Portal app.
- Bryan KellerYes, you are correct, it will work using the Intune app assignment.
Is Microsoft Store ready to be used in for app management in Government Environment, for governance and other policies that are required in government environemnts?
We surfaced your question during today's session of AMA: Managing Windows in the public sector, as well. Please see the panel's answer at around 16:00.
