How will Win32 apps from the new Store be handled in Autopilot scenarios? Are they considered Win32 AP-optimized or Store apps?

    The IME handles installation of Win32 apps and apps using the new integration so from an Autopilot perspective, there should be no difference.

    I guess for now you can package your own .ps1 script as Win32 App and have it ensure the required modules are installed, the gallery is trusted, etc, and then execute the required WinGet cli commands. That's what I'm trialling right now. For updates, we can do similar, probably use PS App Deploy Toolkit to make sure blocking apps are not running, and issue required winget upgrade commands. Or possibly, scheduled task to run "winget upgrade" after login, maybe.

    Great point. Right now the guidance is to not mix app install types in ESP. Hopefully win32 and winget store apps will work together in ESP.

    I'm thinking specifically in ESP.
