Do we get an option to make the microsoft store as browse only store? The reason is to restrict the users to install the application.

In a commercial environment, you can turn off the store altogether using either Group Policy or CSP, and then use your management solution to push apps to the end-user devices. We have not developed any method to make the Store catalog as read-only. Its good feedback. Can you enter that feedback in either feedback hub or clicking Help-> Send Feedback directly in the Store app?

    I would actually have a building question on that. If I completely disable the Microsoft Store via CSP, what happens to the Windows Store apps that are normally updated via it? Will this continue to work as usual via Intune policy and can I continue to push apps to my devices via Intune through Windows Store for Business sync ?
