What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

What and why

Policy-based app removal now supports multi-session environments. Use it to manage the removal of supported in-box apps on devices running Windows 11 Enterprise and Education, version 24H2 and later. This capability applies to preinstalled Microsoft Store apps and other MSIX/APPX-packaged apps.

Rollout schedule

  • October 2025: The policy "Remove default Microsoft Store packages from the system" became available.
  • April 2026: The policy began including a dynamic app removal list.
  • October 2026: The policy is available for use in multi-session environments.

Impact on your organization

This change is helpful if your organization runs Windows 11, versions 26H2, 25H2, or 24H2 Enterprise and Education editions in multi-session environments. It helps provide fewer unwanted apps, simpler provisioning, and a more tailored desktop for your users.

Action required/recommendations

Just use a standard, policy-based approach to remove select apps, using Microsoft Intune integrated with Group Policy. Learn more in:
