Hi,
Win10 Pro computer join to AzureAD and in windows there is one local admin user and one standard user. user login as standard user but can install apps from microsoft store without admin permission. When we run setup file to install application its asking for admin credential but if we install app from Microsoft store its installed and no asking for admin credential.

Could you please explain why this happen and how to restrict to install apps from Microsoft store for standard user.

Thanks,
Rocky
