# Enable or block Windows Mixed Reality apps in the enterprise
|
||
|
||
**Applies to**
|
||
|
||
- Windows 10
|
||
|
||
|
||
[Windows Mixed Reality](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/10/03/the-era-of-windows-mixed-reality-begins-october-17/) was introduced in Windows 10, version 1709 (also known as the Fall Creators Update), as a [Windows 10 Feature on Demand (FOD)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-v2--capabilities). Features on Demand are Windows feature packages that can be added at any time. When a Windows 10 PC needs a new feature, it can request the feature package from Windows Update.
|
||
|
||
Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) must take action to [enable Windows Mixed Reality](#enable). Any organization that wants to prohibit use of Windows Mixed Reality can [block the installation of the Mixed Reality Portal](#block).
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
## Enable Windows Mixed Reality in WSUS
|
||
|
||
1. [Check your version of Windows 10.](https://support.microsoft.com/help/13443/windows-which-operating-system)
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>You must be on at least Windows 10, version 1709, to run Windows Mixed Reality.
|
||
|
||
2. Windows Mixed Reality Feature on Demand (FOD) is downloaded from Windows Update. If access to Windows Update is blocked, you must manually install the Windows Mixed Reality FOD.
|
||
|
||
a. Download the FOD .cab file for [Windows 10, version 1809](https://software-download.microsoft.com/download/pr/microsoft-windows-holographic-desktop-fod-package31bf3856ad364e35amd64_1.cab), [Windows 10, version 1803](https://download.microsoft.com/download/9/9/3/9934B163-FA01-4108-A38A-851B4ACD1244/Microsoft-Windows-Holographic-Desktop-FOD-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~.cab), or [Windows 10, version 1709](http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/F/8/6F816172-AC7D-4F45-B967-D573FB450CB7/Microsoft-Windows-Holographic-Desktop-FOD-Package.cab).
|
||
|
||
>[!NOTE]
|
||
>You must download the FOD .cab file that matches your operating system version.
|
||
|
||
b. Use `Add-Package` to add Windows Mixed Reality FOD to the image.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Add-Package
|
||
Dism /Online /add-package /packagepath:(path)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
c. In **Settings** > **Update & Security** > **Windows Update**, select **Check for updates**.
|
||
|
||
|
||
IT admins can also create [Side by side feature store (shared folder)](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj127275.aspx) to allow access to the Windows Mixed Reality FOD.
|
||
|
||
|

|
||
## Block the Mixed Reality Portal
|
||
|
||
You can use the [AppLocker configuration service provider (CSP)](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/client-management/mdm/applocker-csp) to block the Mixed Reality software.
|
||
|
||
In the following example, the **Id** can be any generated GUID and the **Name** can be any name you choose. Note that `BinaryName="*"` allows you to block any app executable in the Mixed Reality Portal package. **Binary/VersionRange**, as shown in the example, will block all versions of the Mixed Reality Portal app.
