Your uninstall assignment is reaching the device only after restarting IME, while normal processing retains RequiredInstall. That identifies a reproducible refresh problem, but it does not by itself establish a confirmed defect in version 1.106.151.0.

 

One detail worth correcting: Microsoft’s current IME documentation says that Sync from Windows Settings or the Intune admin center initiates both MDM and IME check-ins. Company Portal > Settings > Sync is another documented trigger. The regular IME interval is eight hours.

 

On one affected test device, record the assignment change time, trigger Company Portal sync, and compare IntuneManagementExtension.log for the check-in and policy request with AppWorkload.log and AppActionProcessor.log for the same app. Then capture the corresponding entries after restarting IME.

 

If a successful policy refresh still retains the old intent until restart, provide that before-and-after evidence to Microsoft support. Avoid treating repeated fleet-wide service restarts as a confirmed permanent fix.
