@Musmuharam, Thanks for posting in Q&A. Based on my researching, I didn't find the built in policy to enforce startup apps. But I find we can change the registry key to set the startup app.

You can test the registry key on one affected device. If it can work, then we can try to write PowerShell script to set the registry key. After the script is working. Then we can consider deploy the script via Intune to bulk change it.

@Musmuharam, Thanks for the reply. Both GPO and Intune have their own strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between them depends on the specific requirements of the task at hand.

GPO is a powerful tool for managing computer and user settings in an Active Directory environment. It allows you to set up a policy setting once and then copy that setting onto many computers. GPOs can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences. GPOs can also be targeted to specific computers using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) filters.

On the other hand, Microsoft Intune is a cloud-based service that allows you to manage devices and applications from a single console. It provides a range of features, including device management, application management, and conditional access policies. Intune is designed to work with modern cloud-based applications and services, and it can be used to manage devices running Windows, iOS, Android, and macOS.

In this specific task GPO has no bonus here. You would need to script this solution inside the software package, like adding lines into registery.
