I would like to remove unwanted Windows 11 apps that is not productive to users like Solitaire, News, Xbox etc... so, I wrote a powershell script to do this and it is not running and executing properly, even though I tried running the same PS script on a regular desktop which works.

So, my thoughts are, is there a way to do this in Intune by selecting applications through CSP and removing it for all devices that is in Intune and Azure AD joined or if you even have a better script that would do the job by running it through Intune, I would appreciate if you could provide one.

thank you for providing this link, I'm following through the steps provided on the website and I'm new to writing PowerShell so just thought id ask a question, with the final part of the script that executes the removal of the application, does that part of the script need to be repeated for each application ? providing each display name for every application I'm looking to remove, or is there an easier way to do it ?

@Dylan_HarleyHi Dyan, if you look toward the bottom of the script, there is a for each loop, so the loop it running through each item in the $ProvisionedPackages List which comes from the $UninstalledPackages variable, Notices that when loop executes on trying to remove the package it is done in a Try statement, which is used in exception handling, if the try statements fails then an log is written to a file.

The short answer is no. Netflix will still keep track of your on-platform activities. So to make your browsing and streaming experience truly private, you will need to take some extra measures. And the most efficient one is installing a reliable virtual private network (VPN) on your device.

Yes. You can delete your Netflix viewing history on any device in a few simple steps in the Continue Watching section or in your Netflix profile menu. Note that in a mobile app, you can only remove your history title by title. In turn, on a computer or Smart TV, you can also hide all your history. For more information, check out this article.

Netflix users can easily remove their viewing history from any device if they don't want anybody else to know what they watched on the platform. Unfortunately, doing so would also remove suggestions for similar content from their profile, which means deleting viewing history might not be a good idea for users wanting more recommendations based on their viewing habits. Either way, it is easy to delete viewing history on Netflix, although it can only be done from the website and not the Netflix mobile apps.

Netflix stores viewing history on its server rather than on the device, which means deleting it from one device removes it from all devices. So, for example, removing the viewing history on the Netflix website using a computer would remove it from all other devices, including smart TVs, smartphones, Xbox, PlayStation and more. However, Netflix says it might take a while for the change to reflect across all devices, which means the deletion might not happen immediately.

To delete Netflix viewing history using a Windows PC or Mac, log in to the Netflix account using a browser and click on the profile icon at the top-right corner. On the drop-down menu, select 'Account' and then open 'Profile & Parental Controls' for the profile that needs to be updated. Now click on the 'View' button next to 'Viewing Activity.' Finally, hit the 'slashed circle' symbol next to a title to remove it from the list. While this will only delete a particular episode, users can also hide the entire series from their viewing list. To do that, click on the 'Hide Series?' button that will pop up after hiding an episode. Users can also hide their entire viewing history at once by hitting the 'Hide all' button at the bottom of the page and then confirming the decision on the next page by clicking on 'Yes, hide all my viewing activity.'Netflix says it will take up to 24 hours for the change to reflect in that account.

As mentioned already, users can delete their viewing history using the Netflix website but not the mobile apps. The process can be initiated on the Android and iOS apps, but users will still take them to the website to get the job done. Deleting viewing history is a good way of removing unwanted suggestions. It works best when someone has watched a program that they do not particularly like and do not want future recommendations based on that activity.

There are a few things to remember while trying to hide viewing history from Netflix. First off, users can't hide titles watched from kids' profiles, which is by design, so parents can keep a tab on what their children are watching. Secondly, there's no way to get the history back once deleted, so be cautious before removing viewing history. Finally, once any content is deleted from Netflix viewing history, it will be automatically removed from 'Continue Watching Now.'

The users of apps and devices at your organization might have several app requirements. Before adding apps to Intune and making them available to your workforce, you may find it helpful to assess and understand a few app fundamentals. There are various types of apps that are available for Intune. You must determine app requirements that are needed by the users at your organization, such as the platforms and capabilities that your workforce needs. You must determine whether to use Intune to manage the devices (including apps) or have Intune manage the apps without managing the devices. Also, you must determine the capabilities and apps that your workforce needs, and who needs them. The information in this article helps you get started.

An LOB app is one that you add from an app installation file. For example, to install an iOS/iPadOS LOB app, you add the application by selecting Line-of-business app as the App type in the Select app type pane. You then select the app package file (extension .ipa). These types of apps are typically written in-house or as a custom app.

As an IT Admin, you determine not only which apps your group must use, but you also determine the capabilities needed for each group and subgroup. For each app, you determine the platforms needed, the groups of users that need the app, the configuration policies to apply for those groups, and the protection policies to apply. For example, for enrollment types including Android personally owned work profile, you may want to deploy a web browsing app to make sure users will have a way to open links.

As you're determining which apps your workforce needs, consider the various groups of users and the various apps they use. Knowing these groups is also helpful after you've added an app. After you add an app, you assign a group of users that can use the app.

First, you must determine which group should have access to the app, based on the sensitivity of the data the app contains. You might need to include or exclude certain types of roles within your organization. For example, only certain LOB apps might be required for your sales group, whereas people focused on engineering, finance, HR, or legal might not need to use the LOB apps. In addition, your sales group might need additional data protection and access to internal corporate services on their mobile devices. You must determine how this group will connect to resources using the app. Will the data that the app accesses live in the cloud or on-premises? Also, how will the users connect to resources by using the app?

Intune also supports enabling access to client apps that require secure access to on-premises data, such as line-of-business app servers. You ordinarily provide this type of access by using Intune-managed certificates for access control, combined with a standard VPN gateway or proxy in the perimeter, such as Microsoft Entra application proxy. The Intune App Wrapping Tool and App SDK can help contain the accessed data within your line-of-business app, so that it can't pass corporate data to consumer apps or services.

Use the Intune deployment planning, design and implementation guide to help determine how you identify the organizational groups. For information about assigning apps to groups, see Assign apps to groups with Microsoft Intune.

As you're determining which apps your organization needs, consider how the apps integrate with cloud services, what data the apps access, whether the apps are available to BYOD users, and whether the apps require internet access.

Intune lets you modify the functionality of apps that you deploy to help align them with your company's compliance and security policies. This control allows you to determine how your company data is protected. Intune-managed apps are enabled with a rich set of mobile application protection policies, such as:

Intune-managed apps can also enable app protection without requiring enrollment, which gives you the choice of applying data loss-prevention policies without managing the user's device. Additionally, you can incorporate mobile-app management in your mobile and line-of-business apps by using the Intune App SDK and App Wrapping Tool. For more information about these tools, see Intune App SDK overview.

Apple Volume Purchasing Program for Business (iOS): The iOS/iPadOS App Store lets you purchase multiple licenses for an app that you want to run in your company. Purchasing multiple copies helps you to efficiently manage apps in your company. For more information, see Manage iOS/iPadOS volume-purchased apps.

Android Enterprise fully managed work profile: How you assign apps to Android Enterprise fully managed work profile devices differs from how you assign them to standard Android devices. All apps you install for Android Enterprise fully managed work profiles come from the Managed Google Play store. You use Intune to browse for the apps you want and approve them. The app then appears in the Licensed apps node of the portal, and you can manage assignment of the app as you would any other app.
