About this tag
The intune policy tag covers Microsoft guidance and administrator discussions about enforcing settings on managed Windows devices. Current topics include Windows Backup for Organizations, where leaving a policy at Not Configured may enable settings and Microsoft Store app backup on eligible non-EU PCs, and a planned Windows 11 version 26H2 change that makes Windows settings backup a default for some managed environments. The tag also follows enterprise control around the WebView2 PDF reader transition, including phased Edge rollout timing and the need to validate applications before the legacy reader is removed. These pages focus on policy state, deployment scope, and practical IT planning.
