Windows Notepad

When using Intune, if you have a policy to block uses from the Microsoft Store, it appears that Windows Notepad will then not ever update from when the PC is built unless you re-install it.


If we could deploy this via PMP it would allow us to update and get rid of the vulnerabilities that older versions of notepad has.

    The challenge is that our current detection scripts rely on an Add/Remove Programs entry, which Microsoft Store apps do not provide. Detecting Microsoft Store apps requires running a specific PowerShell command, and we don't support that yet—though it is on our roadmap.

    We had this issue, is it possible that you dont block the store anymore just block users from logging in with personal accounts? it is how we solved that issue here.
