The process to deploy applications to Windows SE devices via Microsoft Intune, is the same used for non-SE devices.
However, on Windows SE devices, apps may successfully install, but they need validation to be certain that they are functional.

The following table details the applications types that can be deployed via Intune, and considerations about the installation on Windows SE:

Application type Installer extensions Example Installable via Intune
Win32
  • .exe
  • .msi
  • Kite Student Portal
  • JAWS
  • Zoom
  • Installable*
    UWP Line of business apps
  • .msix
  • .msixbundle
  • .appx
  • .appxbundle
  • These are usually custom developed apps
  • Not installable via IME initially
  • Requires writing additional WDAC supplemental policy
  • Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
  • .msix
  • Outlook
  • Wikipedia

  • PWAs can be deployed through Microsoft Edge policies in Intune
  • Store For Education N/A

  • Kortext
  • Not installable via IME initially
  • Requires writing additional WDAC supplemental policy
  • Microsoft Store app (legacy) option in Intune N/A Kortext Apps provisioned via this option in Intune are not compatible with Windows 11 SE. If you need to install Store apps, use the Store for Education instead.
    Microsoft Store app (new) option in Intune N/A
  • Adobe Reader DC
  • (Win32) Kortext (UWP)
  • UWP Store apps provisioned via this option in Intune are not compatible with Windows 11 SE. If you need to install UWP Store apps, use the Store for Education instead. Win32 Store apps provisioned via this option in Intune are installable*.
    Web links N/A https://outlook.com Installable; link to web page shows up in the Start Menu

    * = Although generally these apps can be installed, there are known limitations that might prevent a specific app from being installed. These is covered in more detail here).

    Important

    Although you'll be able to install apps on Windows 11 SE devices via Intune, some apps may not perform well on these devices due those apps' minimum spec requirements.

    Before deploying apps, first check which apps will be targeting your Windows 11 SE devices and ensure that they will have their minimum requirements met, and ensure that apps which were previously blocked from installing or running are no longer unintentionally being provisioned once the managed installer policies are introduced.

    Win32 apps

    Win32 apps are installed from Intune via an .intunewin package created by the IntuneWinAppUtil command line tool.
    Once the package is created, it can be uploaded to Intune and deployed to devices.

    For more information, see:

    UWP apps

    UWP apps use two primary flows for installation:

    PWA apps

    If you are trying to install a PWA via Intune, you can do so with the WebAppInstallForceList Microsoft Edge policy. This does not require writing an additional supplemental policy for the app to be installed.

    Store apps

    Store app (new)

    UWP apps deployed through Intune via Apps > Microsoft Store (new) are currently not supported.

    Win32 apps can be deployed through this flow, but are subject to the known limitations of managed installers.
