Hello<br />
<br />
We currently block the Microsoft Store via GPO as we don't want to allow users to go off and download whatever they want. &nbsp;However, we would like to use the functionality of creating SCCM applications from the Store. &nbsp;While the creation of app works fine, the deployment doesn't as it requires access to the store.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to block the Microsoft Store for normal use, but to allow access to it when deploying apps?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Windows 10 also includes a virtual desktop system, a window and desktop management feature called Task View, the Microsoft Edge web browser, support for fingerprint and face recognition login, voice-based search (Cortana), new security features for enterprise environments, and DirectX 12 and WDDM 2.0 to improve the operating system's graphics capabilities for games.
