Entra Application: "Windows Backup and Restore" blocked OOBE autopilot enrollment

I have a Conditional Access policy to block users not on a Compliant Windows PC and the Intune app and Intune enrollment app are excluded from the CA policy for device enrollment. Last night I manually added a reimaged Windows PC to Autopilot (using PowerShell) and during the OOBE user sign-in the app "Windows Backup and Restore" failed for token issuance. This app, Application: Windows Backup and Restore | Application ID: 74d197dc-b84d-4d43-a1b2-b5bf3bb91c11 is not found in Entra Enterprise apps or App registrations.  The Windows OS build was 25H2 Pro, looks like a new service. 

It would be nice if MSFT would add these new apps to Entra. Now I need to manually add the app using PowerShell so I can exclude it from my policy. 

 

Anyone have any news about the Application: Windows Backup and Restore | Application ID: 74d197dc-b84d-4d43-a1b2-b5bf3bb91c11?
