windows 11 management

Windows 11 management covers enterprise and education device administration, including policy-based app removal and Copilot uninstallation. Recent discussions highlight Microsoft's April 2026 update that adds a dynamic policy for removing preinstalled Store apps on managed Windows 11 Enterprise and Education devices running 24H2 or 25H2. Additionally, IT administrators can now use Group Policy to remove the consumer Microsoft Copilot app from managed Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, and EDU devices, though the process is narrow and gated by specific conditions. These developments reflect Microsoft's shift toward supporting IT control over default apps and AI features, moving from workarounds to official management surfaces.
