- If you are limiting what users can install in Store for Business, will those limits be preserved
- What about home grown apps or customized/modified apps?
Will there be any guidance published on how to use winget with MECM? As others have said, we are hybrid-joined but still use MECM for managing workstations and applications. Also, it would be great if there was a download-only option for applications in winget for cases where we want to package software for clients cannot download applications over the internet.
powershell -Command "& {$app = Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller" | Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -ne $null} | Select-Object -Last 1; cd $app.InstallLocation; .\winget.exe install --Id Microsoft.PowerToys --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements; timeout 5}"It's dirty but it works
- +1 for a store integration into MECM from my side
- Are there any plans to include Repair and Uninstall options in Company Portal? Or allow system installs to be interactable? We allow our users to add/remove programs whenever they need them.
- My users can't install winget apps until winget gets installed under their user profile, any ideas on how to get that available sooner? One of the first things users do after Autopilot OOBE is install apps 🙂
- Are there plans to make winget usable in the SYTEM context? We would love to get off of Chocolatey (which works with Software Center/MECM) for our legacy machines and servers.
- Is Microsoft going away from the "not everyone should be administrators" security stance? Very open ended question. Nothing specific. Thank you!
- Is the new store considered a "managed installer" for technologies like Applocker / WDAC?
- MVP Rudy Ooms has described his experience with winget and Applocker/WDAC, not sure if this answer your question completely, but here is his blogpost about it: https://call4cloud.nl/2022/11/microsoft-store-the-movie-hoopa-and-the-clash-of-winget/

You've stumped the panel. 🙂 We'll look into that and follow back with an answer.- Do I need to add Winget as my managed installer for WDAC? or new app store is already pre-approved?
- Will the new method have the option to install apps in the device context (i.e. offline)?
- Is there a link or document i can provide to vendors to show them the benefits of putting their app in the store/winget?
- Will .exe Win32 apps from the store be able to auto-update?
- Why wasn't the "PackageManagement" Powershell module/provider used?
@RachelleBlanchard I was wondering if there is any updates that can be shared about being able to add a Private WinGet Repository to Intune.
