About this tag
This tag covers discussions about managing Windows devices using both Microsoft Intune and Group Policy. Topics include enterprise IT administration, policy-based software control, and configuration management. Recent content highlights the RemoveMicrosoftCopilotApp policy, which allows admins to automatically uninstall the consumer Copilot app from managed devices when specific conditions are met, such as having Microsoft 365 Copilot installed and the app not being user-installed or recently launched. The policy is available through Intune and Group Policy for Windows 11 version 25H2 and later. The tag reflects a focus on hybrid management approaches combining cloud-based Intune with traditional Group Policy for governance and security.
