Auto update W32 apps
Sounds like you have an Available assignment for the application in question. Supersedence doesn't mean your new version will automatically be installed on computers that have installed the earlier version (regardless how it was deployed). To automatically update the original application on computers the newer version needs to be deployed with a Required assignment.
- My bad ! I didn't understood it correctly.
But does that means that if an app is available to everyone initialy and I want user that have it installed to update it, I need to list every user concerned, create a group with them to make them all required and not the whole company ?
It's not very practicalLoc_A please check out the new feature Auto update available with Win32 app supersedence which will help you with this.

I tried it with several Win32 apps and their .intunewin packages.
Even with this option ticked on its assignment and supersedence set, there was no update after several days...Any idea why ?
Loc_A Interesting point on the impracticality of using supersedence to update win32 apps which were previously "available" rather than "required." What solutions have you adopted? A confident, albeit bulky way of addressing this would be via PowerShell.
