- In the legal industry, we need to have full control over what apps are allowed in the environment. Currently we have the public store blocked and manage all of our apps from intune via Company Portal. What will happen if we continue to block the store and only use Company Portal?

You can block the Store app and continue to deliver Store apps using Intune with the new solution.
- What's the security best practise for winget if I want to make my environment for end users bit more strict? Should I remove the community repo from sources list? What will happen if I remove both community repo (winget) and msstore? Will it block using winget totally if I empty the source list? What's the best way to block end users from adding any 3rd party repos for winget and installing anything with winget?
Thanks for participating in today's session of AMA: Microsoft Store and Windows app management! For reference, the panel covered this topic at around 40:00.
Do we still need to manually upload logos for apps in the Microsoft Store app (new)? If so, this is a major time drain for publishing a simple application in a store. Without doing this, the published applications obviously look quite off-putting, or even broken to end users in the company portal.
- Bryan Keller
Yes, icon support is on the roadmap, we are working on it. We were not able to get it done across Store, WinGet and Intune teams in the first release. I agree it's not a good experience.
- While creating a Windows kiosk profile in Intune, Add Store app refers to MSfB apps. Any ETA when this will changed to "Microsoft Store app (new)" apps?

- thanks for that information. i have a lot to research now
- Can Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps block specific Store apps? For example, WhatsApp?
- Will we be able to access the Apps view directly when opening Company Portal on Windows devices at some point? It takes more time and clicks to access this view when compared to the user experience with Software Center.
- sorry if this has already been addressed, i missed the first few minutes: Can we please have a plan to where both Microsoft Store and winget can be accessed and updated by NT Authority\SYSTEM ? System account needs to be able to update Store and winget apps for system AND all existing local user profiles. this is a _desperate_ need for enterprise.

Thanks for everyone's interest in this topic.
To address this scenario two things need to happen. 1) Remove the apps from all the user profiles. 2) Leverage Intune to redeploy the apps with System Context. Then the apps will continue to be serviced. We are aware of the feedback to accomplish the same without Intune, stay tuned.
Thank,

- Thanks. I am satisfied with the "this works for now, but we're working on the rest" answer; very hopeful.
We have some apps in existing store. Do we have to migrate those apps to new store or will it not be updated automatically. Do we have to re-install existing apps. Please suggest.
Please focus on autopilot with new store.

- Bryan KellerYes, just create new Store apps in Intune for the ones you want to replace. Store sync was shut off last month, so you can delete the MSfB version of the app or wait until mid September were Intune will do a clean up on the backend. As I suggested to another user. Use the app list Filter feature to filter on MSfB app type. You can see a list of the ones you want to replace. That list also shows whether the app has been assigned to any user group, which is handy.
- Thanks for update.
The apps that are meant for Hololens 2 are not available for installation on Hololens 2 no matter what from Store (New), but must be packaged and deployed using the source code from the old store or from the offline repository.
- Bryan Keller
That is correct. You may have seen some posts about the MSfB retirement being "postponed", this only refers to the offline download functionality, for which the dev team is currently working on a replacement. For Hololens or Surface Hub, you will need to download the apps as offline packages and deploy them via Intune or other install technologies.
- After we received notification that Q1 was up, we disabled the business apps store and attempted to support our existing customers with the new store, unfortunately, we got caught up in the chasing-a-tail situation for hololens users. For obvious reasons, we cannot go back to re-enable it as it's disabled with a change control process. we really need it working in Store(New), which was a decision from us based on earlier notifications., do we have any timeline that the new store would be fully functional!! what it does is force us to go to the vendor to package all the apps meant for Hololens 2 and added some financial implications for us., Hopefully, the solution would work for us very soon.
