Updating application with Intune Store new integration

Question

In Defender for Endpoint, I have recomendation to update VLC player to **3.0.18.0.
**

1. I import VLC win32 app from new MS Store New integration to Intune.
2. I distribute it to devices and see that app version does not change, it is still 3.0.16.0.
3. I uninstall local version.
4. I install VLC from Company Portal which is just imported and assigned.
5. I still get 3.0.16.0 version installed.

So for me it seems, that MS defender does recommend newer version, but Store offers old one....

Hello @Pavel yannara Mirochnitchenko !

I understand the concern since you get a Notification to update VLC but the Store APP is not updated

It is a common thing , the Store Apps could have stayed behind , while the vendor have already updated the Retail version

You can select to remediate the Alert by either ignoring or try to deliver the App as a Download from the recommended version directly from the VLC website. This will bypass the Microsoft Store and allow you to install the latest standalone version of VLC.

I guess you have Intune Active on the Store right >?

I hope this helps!

Kindly mark the answer as Accepted and Upvote in case it helped!

The workaround or current solution is to use winget source instead of msstore, but then we need to script the install, not use Intune store integration directly.
