If the Store is blocked with policy, will the apps installed from the private or old store continue to update properly?
Will the built in apps update properly if the store is blocked?
- When disabling the Store with policy - ADMX settings - "Turn off the Store application" Group Policy states: If you enable this setting, access to the Store application is denied. Access to the Store is required for installing app updates. Does this language need to be updated? Will app updates still install for built-in apps and store apps deployed from Intune if the CSP is also configured to AllowAppStoreAutoUpdate or Group Policy setting to turn off automatic download and install of updates is disabled?

Michael, Thanks for your question. For WSfB and inbox apps, the Store can be disabled and the apps will continue to be serviced. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/stop-employees-from-using-microsoft-store#block-microsoft-store-using-configuration-service-provider for configuration information. -Kevin- When disabling the Store with policy - ADMX settings - "Turn off the Store application" Group Policy states: If you enable this setting, access to the Store application is denied.

- Roy_MacLachlanWe have a pending change in a near future release of the Intune client that will provide the ability to deploy Microsoft Store apps (New) application assignments to devices with the "Turn off the Store application" GPO enabled. I will look to Bryan for when this feature will ship.
Thanks for participating in today's session of AMA: Microsoft Store and Windows app management! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 08:00.
