Hi MS,

Im wondering if it is possible to integrate/connect apps deployed via Intune on a windows 11 pc which is also using AVD Remote apps.

Can you connect apps together deployed from Intune and AVD remote apps? For example: opening a PDF file locally (from the file explorer on the pc) and opening it by using Adobe as remote app? If this is not possible is there any workarround/thirdparty solution?

We are considering using AVD but minimal (just remote apps) and not the FULL desktop as we are also migrating from Full blown VDI environment which is sluggish and not performing at all.

    Hi S.N Soerdjbali

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Let me help you with your queries.

    Integrating AVD Remote Apps with locally installed apps is not natively supported. Users will need to save the PDF to a shared location accessible by both local and remote applications. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/azure-virtual-desktop

    To RemoteApps available in AVD, you need to publish them by adding them to an application group, which is then linked to a host pool and workspace, users to access these applications as if they were installed locally.

    Please find the below document links for your reference:
