IS THERE ANY WAY TO INSTALL A MICROSOFT STORE APP AND NOT HAVE IT UPDATE AUTOMATICALLY?

Currently for the Microsoft Azure VPN not to receive updates of new versions, we have had to disable by GPO that the computers receive updates from the Microsoft Store. But this is NOT the right thing to do because the rest of the applications in the shop stop receiving updates.

We need to install Microsoft AVPN OFFLINE, and not receive updates from the shop.

We are trying to do the following: 1 - Install Azure VPN in OFFLINE mode, so that it would not receive updates from the shop, it was the advice of a service provider; we are currently deploying it from INTUNE with this SCRIPT, which I show you, this way was indicated to us by our previous service provider.


  #Dism.exe /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.1.appx" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense #Dism.exe /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\Microsoft.VCLibs.x64.14.00.appx" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense #Dism.exe /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\AzVpnAppx_3.1.3.0_ARM64_x86_x64.msixbundle" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense   start-process "Dism.exe" -argumentlist '/Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.32530.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense' -wait Start-Sleep -s 10   start-process "Dism.exe" -argumentlist '/Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.1_2.11906.6001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense' -wait Start-Sleep -s 10   start-process "Dism.exe" -argumentlist '/Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:".\Microsoft.AzureVpn_3.1.3.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense' -wait Start-Sleep -s 10   But this does not work, as soon as we enable the app store to receive updates, it updates to the latest version 3.2.0.0.0 which gives us problems in the clients.

    @Dionisio Ortíz Rodríguez, Thanks for posting in Q&A. From your description, I know you want the Microsoft Azure VPN not updated automatically. Based as I know if it is deployed via Microsoft store app, it will update by default.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/apps-add

    If you don't want it to update, you can check with app developer to see if there's any installation file with silent install command. If yes, then we can consider deploy it via win32 app.

    Hope the above information can help.
