Applications deployment considerations
:::image type="content" source="./images/deploy-app.png" alt-text="Diagram showing the three tutorial steps, highlighting the app deployment step." border="false":::
The process to deploy applications to Windows SE devices via Microsoft Intune is the same used for non-SE devices. Applications must be defined in Intune, and then assigned to the correct groups.
However, on Windows SE devices, apps may successfully install, but they need validation to be certain that they're functional.
The following table provides an overview of the applications types that can be deployed to Windows devices via Intune, and considerations about the installation on Windows SE:
| Installer/App type | Installer extensions | Available installation methods via Intune | Considerations for Windows 11 SE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Win32 | .exe.msi |
- Intune Management Extension (IME) - Microsoft Store integration |
⚠️ There are known limitations that might prevent a specific app from being installed. |
| Universal Windows Platform (UWP) | .appx.appxbundle.msix |
- For private apps: line-of-business (LOB) apps - For public apps: Microsoft Store integration |
⚠️ LOB apps require a supplemental policy. ⛔ It's currently unsupported to use the Microsoft Store to deploy UWP apps. |
| Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) | .msix |
- Settings catalog policies - Microsoft Store integration |
✅ Use settings catalog policies. ⛔ It's currently unsupported to use the Microsoft Store to deploy PWAs. |
| Web links | n/a | - Windows web links | ✅ Web links are supported. |
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 meet the requirements.
Win32 apps
The addition of Win32 applications to Intune consists of repackaging the apps and defining the commands to silently install them. The process is described in the article Add, assign, and monitor a Win32 app in Microsoft Intune.
There are known limitations that might prevent applications from being installed or executed. For more information, see the next section validate applications.
UWP apps
Line of business apps
For private, line-of-business (LOB) UWP apps, deploy as line-of-business apps
Important
UWP apps require the creation and deployment of supplemental policies. For more information, see the next section validate applications.
Microsoft Store apps
Public UWP apps available in the Microsoft Store aren't currently supported for Windows 11 SE.
PWA apps
PWAs can be deployed using the Force-installed web Apps option via settings catalog policies.
PWAs available in the Microsoft Store aren't currently supported for Windows 11 SE.
Web links
Web link can be deployed via Intune using Windows web links, and will be available in the Start menu of the targeted devices.
