App assignment - removing a required app
Hi,
True normally removing the assignment doesnt trigger an uninstallation, To uninstall you need to assign a group to the uninstall settingAnd to quote Microsoft
"Removing a group assignment does not remove the related app. The installed app will remain on the device."
Include and exclude app assignments in Microsoft Intune | Microsoft Docs
cHaZzYIf you unassign the app, it will remain on any current machines, you're basically just stopping any deployments. It's only if you populate the uninstall group that it will remove the software
If you need to get the source files for old apps, have a look at this:

Thank you very much for the quick confirmation andrewstaylor and Rudy_Ooms_MVP - I am now sure not to break anything!
I only find the right documentation, at the moment I don't need it, kind of a gift 🙂
