If you don't configure this policy setting (default), then the system will follow default behavior, which is to periodically check for and archive infrequently used apps, and the user will be able to configure this setting themselves.

Manages non-administrator users' ability to install Windows app packages.
If you enable this policy, non-administrators will be unable to initiate installation of Windows app packages. Administrators who wish to install an app will need to do so from an Administrator context (for example, an Administrator PowerShell window). All users will still be able to install Windows app packages via the Microsoft Store, if permitted by other policies.
If you disable or don't configure this policy, all users will be able to initiate installation of Windows app packages.

List of semi-colon delimited Package Family Names of Windows apps. Listed Windows apps are launched after a sign in. This policy allows the IT admin to specify a list of applications that users can run after logging on to the device.
For this policy to work, the Windows apps need to declare in their manifest that they'll use the startup task. Example of the declaration here:
<desktop:Extension Category="windows.startupTask">
<desktop:StartupTask TaskId="CoffeeStartupTask" Enabled="true" DisplayName="ms-resource:Description" />
</desktop:Extension>
Note
This policy only works on modern apps.

Added in Windows 10, version 1803. This policy setting permits users to change installation options that typically are available only to system administrators.
If you enable this policy setting, some of the security features of Windows Installer are bypassed. It permits installations to complete that otherwise would be halted due to a security violation.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the security features of Windows Installer prevent users from changing installation options typically reserved for system administrators, such as specifying the directory to which files are installed.
If Windows Installer detects that an installation package has permitted the user to change a protected option, it stops the installation and displays a message. These security features operate only when the installation program is running in a privileged security context in which it has access to directories denied to the user.
This policy setting is designed for less restrictive environments. It can be used to circumvent errors in an installation program that prevents software from being installed.
ADMX Info:
- GP Friendly name: Allow user control over installs
- GP name: EnableUserControl
- GP path: Windows Components/Windows Installer
- GP ADMX file name: MSI.admx
This setting supports a range of values between 0 and 1.

- User
- Device
Added in Windows 10, version 1803. This policy setting directs Windows Installer to use elevated permissions when it installs any program on the system.
If you enable this policy setting, privileges are extended to all programs. These privileges are reserved for programs that have been assigned to the user (offered on the desktop), assigned to the computer (installed automatically), or made available in Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. This profile setting lets users install programs that require access to directories that the user might not have permission to view or change, including directories on highly restricted computers.
If you disable or don't configure this policy setting, the system applies the current user's permissions when it installs programs that a system administrator doesn't distribute or offer.
Note
This policy setting appears both in the Computer Configuration and User Configuration folders. To make this policy setting effective, you must enable it in both folders.
Caution
Skilled users can take advantage of the permissions this policy setting grants to change their privileges and gain permanent access to restricted files and folders. Note that the User Configuration version of this policy setting is not guaranteed to be secure.
ADMX Info:
- GP Friendly name: Always install with elevated privileges
- GP name: AlwaysInstallElevated
- GP path: Windows Components/Windows Installer
- GP ADMX file name: MSI.admx
This setting supports a range of values between 0 and 1.

To ensure apps are up-to-date, this policy allows the admins to set a recurring or one time date to restart apps whose update failed due to the app being in use allowing the update to be applied.
Value type is string.
Note
The check for recurrence is done in a case sensitive manner. For instance the value needs to be “Daily” instead of “daily”. The wrong case will cause SmartRetry to fail to execute.
