Add desktop apps in Intune for Education

Applies to:

• Windows 10

Upload and add desktop apps to your Intune for Education inventory. After you've added the apps, you can assign them to groups and install them on Windows devices.

To complete these steps, you'll need the installation file for the app that you want to add.

1. Sign in to the Intune for Education portal.

2. Click Apps.

3. In the left pane, under DESKTOP APPS, click New app.

4. In the New desktop app section, enter the following details:

   • App file—Upload an MSI installer for the app.
   • App name—The name of the app to appear on devices.
   • Description—A description of the app that will help you quickly identify it.
   • Publisher—The name of the app publisher, to help you quickly identify the app developer.
   • Icon—Upload a PNG or JPG file to use as the app's icon.

5. Click the folder icon and select the app installation file from your computer.

6. Click Save. The app will then upload to Intune for Education. Once the upload is complete, you can assign the app to devices.

   

Tip

If you receive a message that the app doesn't have an installation file or can't be found, the file didn't upload properly. To fix this, upload and save the file again.
