Exciting News! How to use Intune Enterprise App Catalog Apps in Windows Autopilot. Microsoft has introduced an important update with the Intune 2506 release, enhancing the Windows Autopilot experience.

With this update, Enterprise App Catalog apps can now be used as blocking apps during the Autopilot provisioning process. When a company sets up new Windows devices using Windows Autopilot, it usually wants some important apps to be installed before the user starts using the device.

With this update, IT admins can now choose apps from the Enterprise App Catalog and make sure they are installed first before the user sees the desktop and starts working. The Enterprise App Catalog is a collection of prepackaged Win32 applications, specifically designed and maintained by Microsoft to work easily with Microsoft Intune.

It provides IT admins with a reliable and ready-to-use library of commonly used Windows apps, eliminating the need for manual packaging and testing. In this post, you will get complete details about the latest enhancement where Windows Autopilot now supports Enterprise App Catalog apps using Microsoft Intune.
