In this article, you’ll learn how to configure installation time for Win32 apps in Intune. In the Intune admin portal, you can edit an existing Win32 app and set the installation time in the app properties. Starting with the Intune August 2308 Update, you can set a configurable installation time (in minutes) for Win32 apps. Win32 app configurable installation time represents the number of minutes the system will wait for a program to finish. The installation time can be customized for both existing Win32 apps and when creating new Win32 apps in Intune. The configurable installation time of Win32 apps represents the number of minutes the system will wait for a program to finish. The default value is 60 minutes. If the app takes longer to install than the set installation time, the system will fail the app install. The max timeout value is 1440 minutes (1 day). In Intune, you can add a custom or in-house Win32-based app. You must upload the app’s installation file in .intunewin format. Y...

In this article, we will demonstrate how to download and install Windows Server 2022 Core using the latest ISO installation media. When it comes to installing Server 2022 on a VM, the server core is the default installation choice. According to Microsoft, the Server Core option is a minimal installation option that is available when you are deploying the Standard or Datacenter edition of Windows Server. Server Core includes most but not all server roles. Because of its smaller code base, Server Core has a smaller disk footprint and, as a result, a smaller attack surface. You should install Windows Server 2022 using the Server Core option whenever possible. Windows Server 2022 includes new features and is the most secure version of Windows Server currently available. A Server Core is a smaller installation that includes the core components of Windows Server and supports all server roles but does not include a local graphical user interface (GUI). It is used for “headless” deployments th...

 In this article, we will demonstrate multiple methods to collect Intune logs from macOS devices. You can collect Intune diagnostic logs from macOS devices and send them to Microsoft for troubleshooting, or you can save a report locally on the device. Whether you are using Configuration Manager or Intune, the first thing you will need if you are having trouble with app or script deployment is logs. Like Configuration Manager, you can also collect Intune logs from macOS devices and refer to them during troubleshooting. See how to collect logs on Windows clients using SCCM. In our earlier article, we showed you how to collect Intune Logs from Windows devices. Even on Windows devices, you can use different methods to gather diagnostic logs. These are extremely helpful for troubleshooting issues related to Intune, particularly on remote devices. There are three main Intune log files required for investigating sync and deployment problems with macOS devices. CompanyPortal.log IntuneMDMD...

In this article, we will show you how to enable high DPI for Windows 365 Cloud PC. After connecting to the Cloud PC via the windows365.microsoft.com web client, you can enable a higher screen resolution in the session settings. In addition to the high DPI feature, you can also turn on hardware acceleration for your Cloud PC. It improves motion performance for tasks like scrolling, moving windows, or playing back videos and is on by default. Let’s first define high DPI. On high-resolution displays, text, images, and UI components appear much sharper and easier to read; however, the operating system must scale up to support the visual experience; otherwise, everything just appears smaller. Third-party Windows applications can leverage High DPI settings and adjust the user interface accordingly, by declaring themselves High DPI aware. When you connect to your Cloud PC using a high-resolution display and notice that the icons, images, and overall display are not sharper, you can turn on th...

In this article, we will explore how to manage Windows driver updates with Intune. Microsoft Intune can help you create, deploy, and manage Windows Driver update policies for your Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices. Until now, most organizations had to rely on third-party tools to distribute driver updates for Windows devices in Intune. Microsoft has finally come up with a solution to deploy Windows driver updates and firmware updates using Intune with a proper procedure. Windows driver update policies in Intune allow you to view the list of available driver updates that are applicable to the devices targeted by the policy, approve updates for deployment, or pause the deployment of individual updates. When driver updates are approved, Intune sends the assignments to Windows Update, which manages the update installation on devices based on the policy configuration. Microsoft has launched policies and reports for managing Windows driver and firmware updates in Microsoft Intune. In two way...

In this article, we will show you how to disable Pause Updates using Intune and Group Policy. You can block the “Pause Updates” ability on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices with a GPO or Intune Policy to prevent users from pausing the updates. Sometimes Windows updates cause so many problems that you just want to turn them off. Despite the fact that Microsoft updates are essential for Windows PCs, not all users install them on a regular basis. You can disable the Pause Updates feature on your Windows PC to prevent users from delaying updates. Windows 10 and 11 Home and Pro users can pause the minor updates on their PC by themselves from Windows Update settings. On Windows PC, you can pause updates for a total of five times to delay the updates for 35 days. You can delay quality updates a week at a time for up to 35 days. Organizations that use WSUS, Configuration Manager or Intune to manage Windows updates can use the methods described in this article to restrict access to pause u...
