There is a bug within this, I think. Flipping it over to Hide MECM apps, in fact removed all Apps including Intune. With setting to Hide, Company Portal reports, “Your IT Administrator did not make any apps available to you”… Regardless of MECM co-management workload setting, this doesn’t work as intended. Anyone else with this issue or what am I missing?
If I remove Software Center from the PC, can we still see Configuration Manager Apps in the Company Portal?
