Prevent web app installing to appdata folder
Hello
Web apps like teams, zoom, webex can be installed without admin rights. This to me is a bit of a security risk. Does MDE have a tool to help admins control install to AppData folder which MS has allowed for most collaborative apps?

Joe Stern We are currently looking at Applocker or Defender Application control. The problem is it seems to only prevent running the apps. It does not seem to prevent downloads.
