Fix 3: Validate Device Restriction Settings for Windows 10/11 in Intune

If you are using a device managed by Intune, There’s worth looking into the enforced device restriction policies for the devices and removing the setting. Here we need to explore the Private Store Setting in the Intune portal.

  • Sign in to the Intune admin center https://endpoint.microsoft.com/.
  • Select Devices > Configuration profiles. Review the device restrictions profile for Windows 10 or 11 devices.
  • In the Configuration settings, Use private store only: Set to Not configured (default) and complete the process to save.

Intune doesn’t change or update this setting. By default, the OS might allow apps to be downloaded from a private store and a public store.

If you set up Allow only allows apps to be downloaded from a private store, and not downloaded from the public store, including a retail catalog.
