Intune Failing to Detect a Win32 App

Question

Hi All,

Has anyone encountered issues with Intune failing to detect a Win32 app? One of my customers has a self-developed Win32 application installed on 200 client devices. They now need to prevent users from using this app, but Intune’s Discovered Apps feature cannot detect it.
All devices are company-managed and fully enrolled in Intune. Does anyone have suggestions or solutions to address this?
Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

    Hi Vidya,

    Yes, this is a known challenge in Intune Win32 apps (especially self-developed or non-standard ones) are often not detected under the “Discovered Apps” inventory because that feature primarily relies on Add/Remove Programs entries (from the registry) to list installed applications. If your customer’s app doesn’t write the expected registry entries, it won’t be discovered automatically by Intune.
