We had Apps workload already shifted.
This month we shifted the Click-2-Run apps workload.

I removed all apps from the Windows Store for Business and added them via Intune as "Store App (new)"

ALL Windows users can utilize the Company Portal to install apps from Store, SCCM and Intune, so it doesn't matter anymore if Windows 11 users cannot use the private store.

Puling the icon from the Store during creation of the new Store app type is currently being investigated and we hope to add this functionality in the near future.

Is it wise to disable "Connectors and tokens | Microsoft Store for Business" in Intune already now?
Are those legacy "Microsoft Store for Business app" synchronized to the Intune apps list will disappear automatically this way or will that happen when the Business Store for Business is EOL on MS side?

  Getting ahead is typically advisable.
  As for MSfB apps and assignments in Intune, the exact behavior at retirement time is still being developed so nothing to share specifically other than for folks to expect none of their MSfB apps and assignments to work anymore.
